Many people spend a ton of time and money getting their outward appearance just right. They don't even realize that their inward appearance is worse than a dirty bum who hasn't showered in 4 months.
I'm sure that on some level God cares what our outward appearance looks like (He wants us to take care of our bodies). But the Bible makes it clear that God mostly looks right past all of that to stare into our hearts. He is way more interested in our inward appearance. Micah 6:8 makes it really simple to understand. What does God want to see in our hearts? - do right, be kind, and be humble towards God. When God sees those things in our hearts, it puts a big smile on His face!
- What is one practical way you can do right in your ordinary day?
- Who can you show kindness to in a practical way?
- Pray that God will show you how to be humble towards Him.
