VESSELS UNTO HONOUR

Appearance
1 Samuel 16:7 ……for man looketh on the outward ____________ but the Lord looketh on the
____________.
Only
God can see the heart. Man can not see the heart, and therefore will draw conclusions by
appearance and actions.
Because of this, it is needful that we as Christian ladies maintain an appearance that will be a testimony to those we come in contact with.
Although someone may not consider themselves physically attractive, this is
not what is important, we can still have an appearance that is well-kept,
clean, and tidy. A meek and quiet spirit is reflected on the outside by what
is in the heart; therefore, our outer appearance should be a reflection of
that.
