A Modest Heart

“I really do want to try to be modest. Where should I start?”

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Let me say first that modesty doesn’t begin with our clothing. It starts in the heart. When we’re right with God—walking in purity and humility before Him—it will be reflected in a modest appearance.

Do you have a modest heart? Ask yourself these questions:

• Do I have a humble view of myself and a high view of God?
• Do I avoid promoting myself?
• Am I grieved at the thought of causing someone else to sin?
• Am I reserved in my speech?
• Do I always have to be the center of attention?
• Am I appropriate in my behavior?
• Am I appropriately reserved in my dress?

Would you ask God to give you a humble, modest heart? When you’re right with Him, your clothing decisions will be a whole lot easier.
