Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.Rather, it should be that of your inner self,the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.1 Peter 3:3-4
It is that time again when consumerism takes center stage to make school age children feel they have to have a certain look to be ‘cool’ at school. One ad said to ‘Turn Heads’ so I used it for title.
If you are not supposed to worry what others think and attempt to pass that on to the next generation you have to combat this line of thinking of ‘look at me’ and instead try to cultivate the importance of the inner man and spiritual walk. Yes hard I know in homes where TV and computer pop up ads grab the attention of girls especially.
You can not let this present culture shape the youth. Children can be mean to be sure and the ‘world’ is all about appearance and titles so you have to seek God daily and ask for guidance in combating this earthly force.
PRAYER: Father help the parents of this nation to be wise in decisions and help me to not follow this culture. Give me strength. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
