How are you clothing yourself? Are you clothing yourself to impress men and women by adorning your outward appearance or are you clothing yourself in righteousness for God?
We must remember that God made us for Himself and not for man. He made us to be His representatives in the earth. He didn't make us to be proud, independent, or self-sufficient. He wants us to always depend on Him and He wants us to know that our sufficiency is in Him.
We have to know that if we try to be independent from God, destruction will come. Remember, a haughty spirit comes before a fall. There are different types of people that we will encounter in the earth. There is the unglodly. That is the one who seeks evil and uses his lips for evil. There is the froward. That is the one who sows strife. There is the whisperer. That is the gossiper that breaks apart friendships. There is the violent. That is the one that entices and persuades others to go in a way that is not good.
We have to be careful so we won't be taken by the works of iniquity and we have to make sure we are not the one that is sowing bad seeds into the lives of others.
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION
Isaiah 61:10
King James Version
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh [himself] with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth [herself] with her jewels.
