| Authentic Beauty |
| [ Proverbs 31:21 - 31:31 ] - hymn414 |
|
| Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. - Proverbs 31:30 |
I often take a moment as I wait at our grocery store checkout stand to scan the covers of the magazines displayed there. It seems that if they aren¡¯t about sex and money, they¡¯re about diet, fitness, health, and outward beauty. There¡¯s nothing there for the soul.
The problem is that people read the wrong magazines—those that are full of lies that fixate on beauty of face and form as though that¡¯s all there is. This can lead to comparison and terrible despair.
Some years ago, a friend of mine told of a conversation he had with a lovely, self-assured teenager. ¡°You¡¯re very self-confident,¡± he observed. ¡°Can you tell me why?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± the young woman answered. ¡°It¡¯s because I¡¯m so pretty.¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m sorry,¡± he said with extraordinary wisdom. ¡°Why?¡± she asked in surprise. ¡°Because,¡± he replied, ¡°you may not always be pretty.¡±
¡°Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing¡± is the wisdom we read in Proverbs 31. Physical beauty all too quickly fades away; all one¡¯s efforts to keep it are doomed to fail. But there is an inner beauty—authentic beauty that will endure forever—in the one ¡°who fears the Lord¡±(v.30). — David H. Roper |

Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me—
All His wonderful passion and purity!
O Thou Spirit divine, all my nature refine,
Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me. — Orsborn |

| Righteousness in the heart produces beauty in the character. |

Proverbs 31:21-31
[21] She is not afraid of snow for her household, For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
[22] She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
[23] Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.
[24] She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants.
[25] Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come.
[26] She opens her mouth with wisdom, And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
[27] She watches over the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.
[28] Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her£º
[29] "Many daughters have done well, But you excel them all."
[30] Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
[31] Give her of the fruit of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates. |
