Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion... but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised
— Proverbs 11:22 & 31:30 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...A great gift to bless others is wasted when someone has physical beauty and cheapens it with sin: he or she doesn't even have a clue why God gave that beauty. No matter what gifts we have been given, whether physical beauty, athletic talent, keen intellect, a charming personality, or anything else, we must remember that God blessed us with these things so we could bless others and honor him. So when we live with a sense of reverence, a goal of bringing honor to the LORD, God wants us to know such a person brings him joy and brings them praise from the throne of heaven!
My Prayer...Dear God, please forgive me for the times that I have not used my gifts and abilities to bless others and honor you. Please give me a renewed sense of purpose as I seek to live for your glory and to bless others with your grace. Stir my heart to bring you praise and use my life to show others your glory. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
