Ever read a verse and see something you’ve never see before? I was reading in Exodus 3 and I noticed something new about Moses and the burning bush. God didn’t speak to him from the bush until he went over to look.
“So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.”” (Exodus 3:3, 4 NIV)
“When the Lord saw that Moses had gone over to look...” I had never noticed that before. God created the burning bush, but he waited patiently for Moses to go over and look, to take some initiative to see what God was doing and find out more. It was then that God spoke to him from within the bush.
What is God showing you, but waiting for you to take the next step in so that he can speak to you and lead you into transformation?
“The Lord confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.” (Psalm 25:14 NIV)
Let’s step in for a closer look.
I had helped a friend sort through her closet. She did the same for me before I moved to Denver. It's amazing how we women collect and hold onto things in our closets. We hold onto outfits that made us feel good years ago, even if they are all worn out and outdated. We hold onto outfits that make us feel fat or ugly or sad and we aren't sure why.
What we wear can affect how we feel and how we feel can affect what we wear. I know that on the days when I'm feeling down, I make myself put on waisted pants (no sport shorts or sweatpants) and I put on at least a little mascara and lipstick. It makes me feel more put together and prepares me to face the day.
Clothes can transform us from feeling like a bum to an elegant woman ready for a night out.
How much do we allow our clothes and makeup to affect how we feel as women? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? How can we use it to God's glory and not for worldly affirmation?
The bigger question: How are we transformed when we remember that we are clothed with Christ?
