Bible Reading: 1 Peter 3: 1 - 7
Topic: Incorruptible Beauty (I)
Beauty describes the
appealing appearance of someone or something.
Apart from natural beauty
like that of flowers, most times beauty is a product of conscious arrangement
of things in proper order.
For men or women, it is
the "outward arranging of the hair, wearing of gold, putting on of fine
apparel e.t.c. but, after some time, this beauty fades, gets corrupted or out
of fashion"
Our text today speaks of a
beauty that is incorruptible, which comes from the inward man and radiates the
life of a Christian.
This beauty is borne out
of a life of gentleness, submissiveness and a quiet spirit. It does not become
corrupted or out of fashion, rather it attracts people to the Lord through you.
It has the capacity of
winning people to Christ (1 Cor. 7: 16)
Many marriages today are
facing challenges because this divine virtue is missing.
While it is good to be
beautifully adorned, it is better to work on the hidden person of the
"heart" - thoughts, habits, character.
Therefore let us search
our hearts and note where we are falling as an individual husband or wife and
be prepared to change our ways.
Do you desire a good wife
or a good husband? Pray to be one yourself.
Prayer:
Lord help me to be the
person You designed me to be for I pray in Jesus Name, Amen.
Memory verse: 1 Peter 3: 3
"Whose adorning, let
it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold or
of putting on of apparel"
