Colossians
3:12
"Therefore,
as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with
compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." NIV
"Put on
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness,
humbleness of mind, meekness, and longsuffering." KJV
We can tell a lot
about people by the clothes they wear. So many different styles and ways to
dress. One thing for sure, most people wear clothing and would be embarrassed or
arrested if they were caught naked. If we stop for a minute and look at the
spiritual world, many people, including Christians, are spiritually naked. They
don't seem to be concerned about it at all. God expects His people to be fully
clothed spiritually so that we won't be ashamed when we represent Him to the
lost in this world. The greatest spiritual fashion statement a Christian can
make is being compassionate, kind, humble, gentle, and patient. These things
never go out of style and look holy and majestic to our Lord.
Heavenly Father,
forgive us for neglecting to dress spiritually appropriate. Search us and reveal
to us the spiritual clothes we wear. Help us to never be naked of those things
that You consider holy and pleasing in Your sight. Help us to be aware of how we
dress spiritually and make us pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus' name,
Amen.
