Turning Things Around

DAY 4 OF 5

We all know fashion is a huge commercial industry. How you look, how you present yourself and how you walk and talk is all designed to impress others within the world of fashion.   

What God is interested in is whether or not we are trying to impress Him. Whether we take what He has given us in our resources, in our looks, in our habits, or in how we relate to other people, He can kingdom-ize it. He can stitch these gifts together and use them for eternal purposes.

Esther was a beautiful lady. She just hadn’t made the connection between her looks and God’s kingdom. God wanted to use the beauty He had given her to place her in a strategic role to protect God’s people for God’s glory, and be a tool for keeping God’s promises. God is not impressed with the external. He likes the internal to be beautiful but when the external can complement it and reflect the beauty on the inside, you then become useful to God because He has a heart and a soul that He can use and it’s in a person He can be proud of. 

Righteously impress others, but more importantly, impress God. When He is impressed with you, you can now be used for eternity and not only to impress people here on earth. That will fade away. We get older, then all the clothes wear out, and the money sometimes dries up, but a righteous man or woman who can be used by God for God’s purposes, that pays eternal dividends.

About this Plan

Turning Things Around

When it comes to life, no one likes to lose. Circumstances conspire against us. Our actions drag us down. A few good shots to the chin, and before you know it, it can feel like life just knocked us out. But listen to the wisdom of Tony Evans as he reminds us that in our darkest hour, we have a Savior in our corner equipping us to turn things around.
