God Delights in you!

Today's Verse

From the New Living Translation

"For the LORD delights in his people;
  he crowns the humble with victory.
Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them.
  Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds."

Psalm 149:4–5

Encouragement for Today

Do you feel in your heart that God delights in you? This passage says that God actually enjoys who you are. He is thrilled with you as one of his people—especially as you trust in him humbly. That just makes God want to crown you with all kinds of honor and victory. Can you let this honor become a cause for rejoicing, even as you lie down for the night? Sweet sleep can come with this kind of meditation.

What Ever Happened to Modesty?

I know I am an old lady, that is OK, I get that.  But what has happened to any sort of modesty in this world?  I can't turn on the TV without being bombarded with almost completely naked people, espeically women.  Sure they put a little flag over their breasts and private parts, but what makes people think that the curve of a woman's back into her hip is not sexy.  Some of the most sexy scences I have seen in movies or read in books are where the writer tells you how sexy it is without saying the words. 

Romance is sexy ladies.  Imagination is sexy.  The mystery of the unseen is sexy.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO SHOW YOUR NAKED BODY!

Evidently you do not realize you are God's child and God does not approve of being immodest. Come on girls, you really do need to think more of yourself than to show it all off.  You are better than that.  Try being different for a change, dress modestly. Dressing modestly is fun, beautiful and alluring.  There is nothing more beautiful than a self confident woman dressed appropriately and holding herself in God's light.

Please ladies, think highly of yourself and dress appropriately.
