• “Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy. Peace does not dwell in outward things, but in the heart prepared to wait trustfully and quietly on Him who has all things safely in His hands.” – Elisabeth Elliot

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.

  • “How different the world would look, how different the state of our nation would be, if there were more sanctified priestly souls! These are souls who have the power to bless, for they intercede with sanctified hearts. They never begin their daily time of intercessory prayer without having first brought to the cross all that is unholy in their lives, so that their old self can be crucified there with Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb.” – Basilea Schlink
