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.

  • “I never felt such an entire emptiness of self-love, or any regard to any private, selfish interest of my own. It seemed to me, that I had entirely done with myself. I felt that the opinions of the world concerning me were nothing, and that I had no more to do with any outward interest of my own, than with that of a person whom I never saw. The glory of God seemed to be all, and in all, and to swallow up every wish and desire of my heart” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards
