Joyce Meyer 17th March 2020 Devotional – God Looks Inside
TODAY’S TOPIC: GOD LOOKS INSIDE
SCRIPTURE: Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes; but let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God. — 1 Peter 3:3-4 (AMPC)
THE MESSAGE: Sometimes we’re more concerned with outward things than we should be, and not nearly concerned enough about our inner life. If we paraphrase today’s Scripture, it could say, “God may like your outfit, but He isn’t nearly as concerned about your outer appearance as He is with the inner condition of your heart.”
It’s critically important that we live our lives with godly character and the inner qualities that matter to God. Most people spend a lot of time getting dressed each morning and making sure they look just right, and that’s a good trait.
But we should first and foremost spend time making sure we’re right in our thoughts and attitudes, because we can’t have good behavior unless we begin with a right heart attitude.
Take some time each morning to “set your mind” in the right direction. Confess any sin you’ve committed, forgive anyone you’re offended with, and give all your cares and worries to God. With your mind set in the right direction, you’ll be an amazing example of peace to others throughout the day.
