Title: Honor God With Your Dressing
Memorize: Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Genesis 3:6-11 (Nkjv)
[6] So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
[7] Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
[8] And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
[9] Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
[10] So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
[11] And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
Message:
Dressing, in today’s world, hos become mainly a statement of status, a way to seduce, or an attempt to fit in. None of these are the mind of God when it comes to dressing.
God’s major purposes are to cover our nakedness and to glorify Him.
Unfortunately, these purposes are gradually missing in the minds of young ones today because we are in the age of immodesty and materialism.
The first set of clothing manufactured by God Himself for the first human beings, Adam and Eve, was to cover their nakedness (Genesis 3:21).
Therefore, to honor God in your dressing, you must be modest. To be modest means to be properly dressed such that no sensitive part of your body is showing.
As a lady, your thighs, cleavage, chest, waist, and stomach should be properly covered. Your panty line should also not be seen through your dress.
As a boy, your thigh, chest, stomach, or arms are not to be exposed for all to see. I want you to know that if you honor God with your dressing, He will also honor you (1 Samuel 2:30b).

HYMN 5 – TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE
1. Take my life and let it
Consecrated Lord to Thee
Take my moment and my days
Let them flow ceaseless praise.
2. Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee
3. Take my voice and let me sing
Always only for my king;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
4. Take my sliver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose.
5. Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall no longer mine:
Take my heart, it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee
