The Journey

The journey to womanhood/motherhood/wiferyhood and every other thing tied into this life is not so simple, yet it can be simplified. It just takes some self disciple ( you can learn about this from the bible, Titus 2 is a good start), build some morals and values and of course pray to God (Adonai, Yah) or which ever language you choose to call HIS name by, anyways pray to God that he helps you stick to your morals and values, in which I hope includes biblical principles for being phyically pure.

Which leads me to a very important topic, MODESTY. What ever happened to it? Okay lets start with the meaning for MODESTY:

mod·es·ty
mod·es·ty [móddəstee]n 1. humility: unwillingness to draw attention to your own achievements or abilities 2. sexual reserve: reserve in appearance, manner, and speech, especially in relation to sexual matters 3. shyness: lack of confidence or assertiveness, with a tendency to embarrass easily 4. simplicity: lack of grandeur or ostentation 5. moderation: moderation in size, scale, or extent

Okay, now that we all know what it is. What can we begin to do if God's word says this:


1Ti 2:9 In the same way, that women also adorn themselves in decent clothing, with modesty and propriety; not just with braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothing;
1Ti 2:10 but (which becomes women professing godliness) with good works.


Okay, Let's break this down on what decent means exactly of Course I am going to start with the definition and I am not a believer in partial definitions as the full definition helps us to grasp the meaning more fully so hear goes:


de·cent
de·cent [dss'nt]
adj
1.
moral: conforming to accepted standards of moral behavior
It was decent of her to apologize.
2.
good: above average in quality or quantity
one of the few decent restaurants around here
3.
satisfactory: adequate or sufficient in quality
did a decent job
4.
kind: kind, considerate, or generous
5.
sufficiently dressed: fully dressed, as opposed to being naked or wearing only underwear (informal)
Don't come in; I'm not decent!



Okay so by now you may think that I am being kind of harsh, however, if you will notice that I did point out the text that said KIND AND CONSIDERATE.....not just for yourselves but for others as well, and I am now going to use Christ's Golden RULE....LOVE Thy Neighbor as YOURSELF.

So with Christ and God's Golden Rule established...think about how to be kind and considerate in your dress while loving your neighbors as yourself.....

Now put in mind that your neighbors include married men and the wives of the men, yesss the wives of the men that are married. I promised that I am going somewhere with this if you will just give me a few more moments...

Imagine being a wife with your husband and you walk into a room and there are indecently dress women in the room and when I say indecent I mean(Indecently dressed religious/spiritual women in the room to be more specific), Clevage showing, bodies popping out of pants, middrifts showing, short shorts ect.....

How do you think your neighbor feels about you in this specific environment? Your neighbor being the husband and wife couples in the room, the little girls and boys, yet particularly the wives.

Do you think that it is decent to show your bodies in anytype of manner that would be considered indecent regardless to todays rapidly moral declining temporature.

How would you feel if you were the wife in this senario? How difficult did you make it for the husbands mind to stay focus on honoring his wife instead of looking at your outfit? How many arguements do you think you would have had with your husband as a result of looking? Do you know just how visual men are?

What would you differently now that you are aware of how to dress while obeying the Golden Rule?

Does this change your perspective about the way you dress and the way that you carry yourselves?

I know if I were a true follower of Yeshua(Jesus) and a true disciple of his word then I would feel truly convicted if I didn't do everything in my power to follow God's Code for being a Modest Woman.
