I ask myself this question daily. I’m a Christian, an ambassador for Christ. How, then, do I dress the part?
Let’s look to the Bible:
Proverbs 31’s “wife of noble character” (verse 10) is “clothed in fine linen and purple” (v 22) and “strength and dignity” (v 25).
Bright linen and deep purple symbolize redemption and royalty — my sins are forgiven, and I’m a child of the King. The passage doesn’t say “sackcloth and rags.” The noble woman is well-dressed. Her clothes dignify (honor) her faith.
Question for the day: do I look nice and also honor God?
Good morning, Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and welcoming me into Your royal family. I don’t deserve it, and I want to honor You by what I wear, what I say and what I do.
I don’t want others to think less of You because of me. Guide the choices I make today, O God. May I reflect Your goodness and grace all day long.
