Does a maiden forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments?
Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number.
Jeremiah 2:32
Caring for your outward appearance is not wrong as long as we remember to focus on our inner thoughts and attitudes too. The prophet Jeremiah noted that women are unlikely to forget their accessories, but God's people are prone to forget him.
Try this: tomorrow if you are lucky enough to sneak in a shower, Praise God for the cleansing that Jesus' forgiveness provides. As you are getting dressed, Thank God for clothing you with Christ's Righteousness. As you apply your makeup, Thank God for being the foundation of your life.
And as you put on your earrings, Thank God for beautifying your life with the fruits of the Spirit.
I hope you all have a blessed week!
Blessings,

Thanks so much for this timely word.
I must remember this as I get myself ready tomorrow for our vacation. These are words I do not want to forget!
Blessings and miss you already!!
I love this!
So many times, it is indeed easy to forget God, in our day to day routine. What a wonderful (and fun) way to remember!
I love it Amy. What a sweet way to correlate how he is to us... I will definitely think about and speak these things as I get ready tomorrow.
Love and Blessings,
Pam
Amy I am certainly going to be applying your precious prayers to my daily routine as well. I am in such a state of forgetfulness when getting ready because of rushing around all the time, I love this verse!
LOVE your honesty and encouraging posts Amy!
love you
