30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.
Probably, most of the people heard about this verse already. This might be one of the verses that are usually forgotten by a lot of people. The society nowadays are mostly focused on outward appearance, mainly women. Women now undergo lots of surgical operations just to look good and look pleasing to the people around them. They think that undergoing those things will only increase their self-confidence and win the acceptance of the crowd.
I am not saying that making yourself look pretty is bad. Its just that we should not neglect our INSIDE. The inside lasts forever and never fades. Like what the verse above says, beauty fleets.. it lasts. And you know who could make you so beautiful that will last forever? Its Jesus Christ. As you surrender your life to Him, You will grow more beautiful in His love. His love makes you beautiful. And you know what's nice about that? His love doesn't only make you beautiful in the outside but most importantly in the inside. He changes you! He changes your ways, those ugly old ways. He changes them to something more beautiful that manifests on the outside. A woman of God, a proverbs 31 woman is not obliged or forced to go with the flow of this sinful world. Instead, she goes against the flow with courage and strength! You know why? Because she has God! He who is greater than anyone or anything in this world. He who comforts those who are persecuted, weary and troubled. He secures the heart of this woman. He loves this woman no matter what. And this woman of God never stops pleasing God. She longs for His presence every now and then, seeking Him always. Seeking His will in every decision she makes and trusting His timing in every season of her life. This woman doesn't grow old as time goes by. She's not affected by the storms that comes her life. She doesn't go through those storms alone, God is with her and God assures that her precious princess is safe and unharmed. He protects her princess and uses godly people to always remind and protect her. He smiles and is pleased with this woman. He blesses her so much and loves her so dear. She longs to be with her Father. She longs to see His face and hear His still small voice. She longs to be with the God Almighty forever.
And when the time comes, she will grow so beautiful, so beautiful than the rising sun and the sound of the birds. She will grow more beautiful than the rainbow. She will grow beautiful in His love.
Why do you have to spend so much money and invest so much time on things that are just temporary? Why not invest time on things that is eternal? Isn't it the best thing and wisest thing to do? Aren't you tired of pleasing the people around you? Aren't you tired of a constantly changing trends in this place? Aren't you done with seeking attention from mortals? Why do you have to please this temporary world and not please our eternal God? The King of kings and Lord of Lords? This thing on earth are will not last. The happiness that this earth gives is just temporary. A lot of people underestimate this truth and continue on their ways. But its not too late. God is still waiting for You. He is patiently waiting for you.
Beauty lasts.. focus on what is eternal ladies. Eternal. This might be a short word but this word carries a heavy meaning. This word might look so simple but this "eternal" word is something very big.
A proverbs 31 and a job 29 is just a perfect godly match. And personally, I pray to be that kind of woman to have that kind of man in His time :) I just love talking and sharing about God. I love my job 29 already whoever he is. I just pray for him to grow more in faith and love. I am and will wait. And while I wait, I will want to be this kind of woman most especially for God. I want Him to change me and continually renew my heart everyday. Thank you God.
Let's just let Him move in and through our lives. Open hearts. See Him change you in to something so beautiful. The kind of beauty that will last forever and ever :) Having God's spiritual seed in you grow into a beautiful flower.
