1 Peter 3:3-4 NKJV
Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

Shalom! Day #31. Do you know God sees your heart rather than your outward appearance? Let's pray. Father, thank You for this day. Lord help us not just to shape our outward appearance only, but allow our inner man be shaped as well. In Jesus name we ask and pray. Amen.
Let our adornment be inward and outward. Paul says, he beat his body into subjection, meaning to say discipline ourselves, our spirit. No matter how much money, or status, or level of education we have, if our heart is lousy, no point. For example, we have watch the listen, listen, listen fame, a video gone viral. This person, so called degree holder, but then attitude is so stinky. You see no matter outwardly how pretty or handsome you look, if inwardly it's stinky, then the outcome would be a crap! We can't pretend to be good outwardly if inwardly, our Inner man is not right. Character is build from inside out. Not outside inside. Let Christ consume us from Inside out. You may have good ministry but If the Inner man is no good, people won't respect and recognize you. Good character, produces good outward action. Good outward action produces good and respectful relationships.
Our innerman, the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. In 1 Samuel 16:7 NKJV But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the L ord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” God rejects those who trying to use their outward appearance in pleasing and serving Him. Set our heart right before God and man.
Let this day be the day of the Lord!
