Proverbs 31 Woman, Day 19

Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Charm is misleading, isn't that the truth. Many will mislead you with a charming personality. Beauty only lasts for a short time, that too holds truth. But the woman who fears the Lord is praised.

We all have done it or still do it. And since I'm not here to judge whether you do or not, you don't have to admit anything to me. I'm here just to cause us all to think. Have you ever led someone on by being charming? Has someone ever fooled you with their charming ways? How do you feel after, no matter what side of the charm you were on. Did you feel fooled or maybe even bad. It was a moment of fake, to obtain something you wanted. Have you ever used your beauty to get something? Has someone ever approached you based off your beauty alone? Neither lasted long did it?

To fear The Lord does not mean we are running and hiding from Him. It means we know His power, we live to please Him, we rely on Him and we let nothing disturb that. In return He praises us, He adores us and we remain in His favor.
 
Ladies be praised, but do not be charming or beautiful.
