Galatians 3:27 (CEV) And when you were baptized, it was as though you had put on Christ in the same way you put on new clothes.
Romans 13:14 Let the Lord Jesus Christ be as near to you as the clothes you wear. Then you won't try to satisfy your selfish desires.

Monday was my day to make the semi-annual great closet swap. Turtlenecks, sweaters, and winter suits got packed away or moved to the guestroom closet. Shorts, tees and summer dresses replaced them. Since I no longer wear a size “large” I have a big pile of clothes to donate to charity. I’m sure more will be added as I try on summer outfits. The upshot is that I feel like I don’t have anything to wear! I see a shopping trip in my future. I have always liked these scriptures that talk about putting on Christ. It doesn’t how fancy our clothes or jewelry is if our attitude is not also beautiful. I’m going to try for the next few days as I get dressed to first consciously ask Christ to come and be my guide and inspiration for the day. Putting on Christ first might make my clothes fit better, but it will certainly make my day fit better and make me a better person to those around me.
Thank you God for providing for our needs today. Bless us and be with us as we make our way through the hours. We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
