Shalom,
Man Of The Heart
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 PETER 3:3-4
No one knows what you look like! They may think they do,
but they don’t. You — the real you — are a hidden man. You are a spirit; you
have a soul; and you live in a body (1 Thess. 5:23). What people see is only
the “house” you live in.
I’ve heard ministers quote two-thirds of First Peter 3:3 and say that women shouldn’t fix their hair and
shouldn’t wear gold. But if that’s what Peter meant, then women shouldn’t wear
clothes, either! Because if Peter told women not to plait their hair and not to
wear gold, then he also told them not to put on apparel. (Apparel is clothing.)
No, Peter is really saying — probably because women are
more prone to do this — “Don’t spend all of your time on your hair, on your
clothes, and on the outward man. See to it, first of all, that the
hidden man of the heart — that’s the spiritual man, the real man, the
inward man — is adorned with a meek and a quiet spirit.”
Confession: I
am a spirit. I am a child of the Father of spirits. I have a soul. And I live
in a body. I see to the adorning of the real me — the hidden man of the heart.
AMEN! Now DARE to BELIEVE that YOU are exactly who JESUS says that you are! Here is Brooke Ligertwood and Hillsong with "Who You Say I Am":
Shalom in Him!
