Pray this Lazaroo with excuseless humility:

“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves…with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

I don’t often think of good deeds as clothing, Jesus

a precious behavior that adorns those who worship You.

You don’t want the literal clothing a person wears

to detract in any way from their spiritual garments –

emanating from the good they do

because of Your life-changing Presence

in their daily lives!

Pray this Lazaroo with a strong desire to please God:

“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

I know some women who would be offended by this, Jesus.

They’re all about elaborate hairstyles, expensive jewelry and designer clothing.

It’s not really about those things, though, is it?

When she has a passionate heart for You

a Godly woman can make a gunny sack
look like a million dollars.

Seek Godly guidance, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

So You’re not against us looking good, Jesus!

That’s good to know. 😉

But You want us to do so circumspectly when in public, not suggestively.

You want us to dress appropriately for the occasion
to show some respectability, some class.

That doesn’t take a whole lot of money, does it?

When I decide what to wear each morning
may I lean on You, Holy Spirit!

Take it to heart, as you pray this Lazaroo:

“I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

Paul had just finished telling the men what he wanted them to do, Jesus –

lifting up holy hands in prayer
without anger or disputing.

Now, he’s asking the women of the church

to dress in a way that glorifies You.

My guess is he’s correcting the shortcomings of each. 😉

Do I need to correct any of this, LORD?

Wholehearted worship
anger
disputing
dressing modestly?

Pray this Lazaroo with laser-focused intensity:

“I also want women to dress modestly…”
(1 Timothy 2:9)

You want men to do the same, don’t You, Jesus?

Wow. Even the way we dress matters to You!

Please help me remember that every time I select an article of clothing:

“Is this pleasing to You, LORD?
Or do You prefer I wear something else?”

Some people would think that’s going too far with this 1on1 with Jesus thing, wouldn’t they?

But You don’t.

So neither do I.
