Far Too Many!

Solomon compares a woman who has physical beauty but no wisdom to a gold ring stuck in a pig’s nose. It is a most unfitting sight. It is an irony to see outer beauty where there is no inner beauty of soul. Far too many focus on only outward adornment but neglect to walk in the beauty of holiness with the Lord.

Lord, let us seek after that inner beauty of holiness and not after the vanity of external beauty, which is of no spiritual value and quickly fades away. Let our focus be on the heart and not on that which is seen by men. God my Father and my Shepherd, rain down upon me Your blessings, as I vow to walk and embody what Your word instructs. Nurture me with the courage and character to act in accordance with Your truth, and spare me from evil. For I know and I wish not be judged on what I have merely said in this life Lord, but in how I have made it manifest. In Jesus’ name I pray, show me the light and the way, Amen.
