“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 the Lord.”
1 Peter 3:3-4
To have a quiet spirit means for our spirits to be undisturbed.
In Proverbs it speaks about us needing to have “rule over our spirits.”
Gentleness also means humility,
And the incorruptible beauty is referring to things which are undecaying, in other words – putting things inside our hearts (and minds) that are of eternal value – not just adding the things that make us “pretty” on the outside, but godly character that will last forever and radiate from within us.
I also totally love how it says that it is VERY precious in the sight of the Lord, not just precious, but VERY precious.
Even tho this passage is directed towards women, I pray we will all be adding to our faith daily the things that really matter, and asking the Lord to change our hearts to be more like His.
Have a lovely weekend!
Happy 4th!!!
