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]

Thanks for the reminder that the spiritual armor is as important as our physical clothes. No, more important.
