Resort Living

by Rena Fish, Copy Editor

Resort living is life at its finest! Accommodations are plush; all of your needs (and often your wants!) are supplied. Beautiful and peaceful sur­roundings are usually part of the package. Guests are treated like royalty.

Whenever I feel particularly stressed, I make a visit to my favorite resort. The location is perfect! I can be there in minutes. In fact, if I choose to, I can stay there continually. This resort always has vacancies, and it is absolutely free! Hard to believe, isn’t it! But it is absolutely true.

Psalm 71:3 tells about this amazing resort. “Be thou [God] my strong habitation, whereunto I continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.” My resort is my place of safety, rest, and peace. I can run to my resort anytime of the day or night. I find the most restful sleep during my stays there. “I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.” (Psalm 4:8)

I am not the only one who has discovered this secret place—this place where I can hide from the cares of the world. John 10:41a says, “Many re­sorted unto him [Jesus].” Don’t miss out on resort living—rest in Jesus!

Dressing for the Occasion

Ephesians 6:11

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Clothing fashions have changed over the past marking a change in the way we express ourselves. Some choose to stay with apparel from the past, while others keep up with the latest trends. When it comes to that special occasion, most will pick an outfit that brings out the best in them and honors the guest they are with.

Many times a young man or lady will spend hours getting ready for that special person on their prom night. The bride will spend days finding the perfect dress for the moment she has been waiting for. A young man will hurry home to clean up, change from his dirty work clothes, and spritz a spray of cologne on him to meet his date. The preparation is time consuming but the outcome is great.

When getting dressed spiritually, it is important to remember that we are not only preparing ourselves to look good in the world’s eyes, but we are demonstrating our desire to look the best for the one we love, Jesus. The armor of God not only takes time to put on and protects us from the wiles of the devil; it also helps us to look our best for the Master. So the next time you are getting dressed to impress that special person, or whether it is getting ready for work, remember to cloth yourself with the armor of God and Dress for the Occasion.

Quote

Dress has a moral effect upon the conduct of mankind. Let any gentleman find himself with dirty boots, soiled neckcloth, and a general negligence of dress, he will, in all probability, find a corresponding disposition by negligence of address.[1]
