Bible Passages:

1 John 2:16

1 Peter 3:3-4
Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
1 Sam. 16:7

Devotion:
This month I would like to talk about a very important issue, modesty. This is something many different people have many opinions on! You could ask 10 people what they think it means to be modest and get 10 different answers! To me modesty is dressing in a way that does not cause those around me to fall. I can not tell you how to dress, or what you should wear but I can tell you waht the Bible says. I believe we should dress in a way that pleases God. So, lets go through our closets and ask God to help us in this area of our lives!!
Until Next month,
Standing firm in Jesus,
Deborah Martin
