Proverbs 31:30
Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:
but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be
praised.
“Favor” means having people like and respect
us. Beauty is that which is admired by
the eyes of others. Having the favor of
people can really deceive us and trick us into making choices that aren’t
really God’s best. We like it when
people like us but we are not here to please people. We are here to please the Lord. Beauty is nice and it feels good to look good
but beauty is empty and doesn’t bring the ongoing sense of purpose we need to
live day by day. The woman who fears the
Lord is the one who will keep on going like the energizer bunny. When others turn away from us or our beauty
just isn’t what we would want it to be, if we fear the Lord, we will have the
consistent source of acceptance and worth we need to go on until the Lord calls
us home. When you are doing your make up
or sensing someone likes you, send a silent prayer asking the Lord to establish
you in doing thing to please Him above all other motives.
