NO WONDER
Today’s reading: Song of Solomon 1-2

I’m not the ‘hippest’ of women. My hair’s not the newest shade Clairol has to offer. My jeans have been purchased because I like the fit and they were on sale--not because of the name brand. I’ll admit my purse doesn’t always match my shoes. I doubt many of the young gals would ever clamor to find out my beauty secrets or want to mimic my lifestyle. What I could advise another woman on would probably be edited from the pages of Vogue or Cosmo because, well, it’s probably too old fashioned or boring.

But I know a thing or two about being a woman: It can be the greatest, most wonderful thing in the world…or it can be the hardest, most uncomfortable role handed out. It all depends upon your walk with your Creator.

My advice for the youngest of the females tuned in…stay close to God!

Depend upon Him for your beauty.

Trust Him with your life and your secrets, your dreams and your ambitions.

Work hard to please Him--and Him only.

Dress to impress Him. Better yet, dress to honor Him. Even more specific: Dress in a way that doesn’t shame Him.

Fashion your life upon His principles.

Grow in His character traits.

I understand what Shulameth was saying when she spoke to Solomon(God). She found out that all a woman would ever need was wrapped up in Him!

“How right that the young women love you!” Song of Solomon 1:4 NLT
