Modesty is not just about the way you dress; it also includes the way you carry yourself, the way you talk, the way you walk, and the way you treat others. You can wear a long dress and still be loudmouthed; you can wear skirts and still be very rude. Don’t get me wrong, the way we dress is very important, but how we act is just as important, if not more important, than what we wear.

A few months ago my family and I did a parasite cleanse, and I’m sure you might be wondering why I’m telling you this. But trust me, by the end of this blog post, you’ll understand.

Why is it that just by the way you choose to live your life, people assume you’re being judgmental without you even saying a word?

Yesterday I was out doing some yard work. It was so hot outside that I was sweating like I was in a sauna. The sun was beating down on me, and even with my sunhat on, it didn’t help. It was just that hot. I was so determined to finish cutting the grass that I didn’t take enough breaks to rehydrate, which led to me having a really bad headache and feeling completely drained for the rest of the evening. Later that day, I was texting with a friend of mine. We were just catching up, talking about how our days had gone. I mentioned that I had been out doing yard work in the heat and wasn’t feeling too well afterward. Toward the end of the conversation, he asked me what lesson I had learned while working outside.

God gives His strongest warriors the roughest battles. And to be honest, that’s what gets me through life. Life is a constant battle of good and evil. Each and every day, we are surrounded by darkness, and we have to keep our eyes fixated on Christ, our General, knowing that with Him on our side, we will win any battle.

Like the cedar tree, we will stand;
We will do as God commands.
We will work while it is day;
We will watch, and work, and pray.
One morning, I was awakened by the sound of thunder and rain. When I opened my eyes, I saw lightning flashing through my window. It was about 3 a.m. when I woke up, so I took it as a sign that the Lord wanted me to seek Him in prayer. There, in the darkness, with the storm raging all around me, I got on my knees and prayed—not only for myself but for my friends, family, and all those I love. After spending some time in prayer, I decided, since I was already awake, I might as well have my devotional. After finishing my reading, the Lord inspired me to write, and that’s when I realized why He had woken me up so early.

You’re going on a trip and you’ll be staying in a hotel, what do you usually pack? Of course, some outfits, toiletries, and a few other personal items. When I go on a trip, I pack only the things that are necessary and leave behind the things that aren’t.

Will This Glorify Christ?
If we truly asked ourselves this question every day, we would make better choices in the things we watch, the conversations we have, the people we associate with, and the things we listen to. Nothing in life is too small to consider this question: “Will this glorify Christ?” Everything we do should bring glory to God—through the way we speak, dress, the conversations we engage in, the movies we watch, and the music we listen to.

Without opening your mouth to say a word, can others tell that you are a Christian? The way you dress, talk, walk, and the people you associate with all say a lot about your character. Your life is the greatest testimony to the world. What testimony are you sharing?
