Had an interesting conversation the other day. Someone was telling me that it was vitally important for us to wear "our Sunday best" when going to church. Not doing so dishonors God. My question to them was, "So do you wear your Sunday best all week everywhere you go? Do you not honor God Mon-Sat...Or do you dishonor God by wearing your uniform at work and pajamas at home? Their reply was a lot of stammering and justification...
The thing is this...we are to honor God in everything we do and at all times, wherever we are. We can put on the nicest Armani suit with Gucci shoes and have the most expensive haircut...topped of with silk boxers and monogrammed socks...but, God sees through all of that and can see the sin that stains our heart. The whole "our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment" (Isa 64:6)thing comes to mind...
God loves us unconditionally, regardless if we wear suits and ties or khakis and tee shirts...why don't we concern ourselves more with pleasing and loving Him rather than what fashion faux-pas others are making on Sunday mornings....
See you in church...I'll be the one wearing blue jeans and boots...
