Dressing Modestly

Read Now
 
It really troubles me when I'm out and about, and I see women wearing really tight or minimal clothing. The word of God says we are to dress modest, as the queens of the most High. "Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire." 1 Timothy 2:9. We are to have on respectable attire that is fit for the Kingdom, and be very careful about wearing certain jewelry and even nail polish, as these things can be not only distractions,  but are used as tools by the enemy. Dressing modest also shows that you not only have respect for yourself,  but the Heavenly Father who created you. Its also good to remember,  your 1st impression is always your last, so wearing bonnets or tight dresses, will not leave a positive impression by people that you may come in contact with.
 
Another great thing to remember is, dressing un-modest can cause other Men to lust and have prying eyes, which is something God is not pleased with and, causes adultery. "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Matthew 5:27-28 . "Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands." 1 Peter 3:3-5
 
Just like other aspects of the Bible, God created modesty for a reason, as there are drawbacks if not followed. You have to remember,  just because a outfit may look cute,  doesn't mean that it may be fit for you. You have to ask yourself the important questions, and examine your inner heart. "Will this outfit glorify God?" "Will this outfit draw the wrong kind of attention?" Or "Will this outfit honor my Heavenly Father?" Remember, you are a queen of the most High, and what's on the inside is more important than what's on the outside. You will also attract what you are!
