Psalm 135:13 Adonai, Your Name endures forever,
Your renown, Adonai, from generation to generation.
14 For Adonai will vindicate His people,
and have compassion on His servants.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
16 They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see;
17 they have ears, but cannot hear,
nor is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them will be like them—
so will all who keep trusting in them.

Psalm 116: 1 I love Adonai,
for He hears my voice, my cries.
2 Because He has turned His ear to me,
I will call on Him all my days.
5 Adonai is gracious and righteous—
yes, our God is compassionate.
6 Adonai protects the simple-hearted.
When I was brought low, He saved me.
7 Return to your rest, my soul,
for Adonai has been good to you.
10 I trusted even when I said,
“I am very afflicted”—
11 even when I said in my haste,
“All men are liars.”
12 How can I repay Adonai
for all His bounties to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation,
and call on the Name of Adonai.
14 I will fulfill my vows to Adonai
in the presence of all His people.

In Your Silent Night sung by Casting Crowns
A particular young lady commanded my attention this morning. She like me was adorned with a message. We were not the only ones you know; we all are clothed in a message when we step into our outside worlds. Anyway . . .
A scenario began to form and I thought if only someone, someone she has confidence in, someone she is sure of would ask her questions. Not criticizing questions. Thinking questions. And preface the questions with: Oh, my beautiful child, The Father has endowed you with assets and treasures of heart thumping beauty. I hope you know that. I hope you believe it. Lets explore if you really do.
With this outfit you have chosen today, have you determined who is your targeted audience? Whose attention are you seeking?
What do you hope to say to them today?
What will your response be to their response to your fashion statement today?
Would you be willing to stand before your mirror each day and ask: Jesus, do You like this outfit? Does it say about me what You say about me?
