• “We say, then, to anyone who is under trial, give Him time to steep the soul in His eternal truth. Go into the open air, look up into the depths of the sky, or out upon the wideness of the sea, or on the strength of the hills that is His also; or, if bound in the body, go forth in the spirit; spirit is not bound. Give Him time and, as surely as dawn follows night, there will break upon the heart a sense of certainty that cannot be shaken.” – Amy Carmichael

A Crafty Heart by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 02/27/12

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Proverbs 7 tells us the story of a young man who’s walking alone late at night. It says, “Behold a woman comes to meet him, dressed as a harlot and cunning of heart.”

This verse shows us that the way we dress reflects what’s inside. This woman’s true heart was displayed by her appearance. I think we can see the same thing today. So many women dress in a provocative way to get the attention of men, including entertainers hoping to further their career. The problem is, a lot of women follow these immodest leaders, and today’s fashions reflect a lot of that immodesty.

What’s in your heart? Are you trying to catch attention, no matter what it takes? Or do you have a heart for serving the men around you? Would you ask God to give you a modest attitude?

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

Verse of the Day

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. — Isaiah 53:5-6 (NKJV)
