Dreams of splendor
You look like a Million Bucks
When you put on Christ
Clothes…. What you
wear makes a statement.
It says something to you and to others.
Others judge you by what you wear.
Ralph Lauren, the Jewish fashion designer says…
“I don’t design clothes, I design dreams.”
Ralph Lauren understands the dream
inside of each of us
to be somebody.
You dream of being a cowboy, a biker or golfer…
Ralph has a line of
clothes to give you
the look and feel of your dream.
I love to watch our four granddaughters
get into our hope
chest.
Sandy has filled it with dresses for every occasion...
Wedding, Ballerina, Victorian, along with
boas, hats, high heel shoes and jewel of all kinds.
When they open the chest, they
begin to play out their dreams.
Ralph says… “Fashion
is about establishing an image
that consumers can
adapt to their own individuality.
And it's an image that
can change, that can evolve.
It doesn't reinvent
itself every two years.”
You have heard it said…
“Clothes can make you
feel like a million bucks.”
Having the right clothes,
for the right occasion is important.
If I am doing a funeral or wedding, I wear a suit,
when I work around
the house, I wear jeans.
God has given you and I a million dollar wardrobe.
“Get out of bed and
get dressed!
Don't loiter and linger, waiting until the
very last minute.
Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and
about!” Romans 13:14 MSG
When we put on Christ, we are dressed like
When we put on Christ, we are dressed like
the lilies that grow in the field in all their splendor.
When we put on Christ, we are dressed
for victory over every circumstance of
life as we put on the full armor of God.
Putting on Christ will adapt to
every situation you
have in life.
God wants you to dream
of being your best for Him.
He will clothe you to fulfill those dreams.
So what are you waiting for…
Get Dressed!!!
Scripture Reading
Ephesians
1:17-19 NIV
18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may
be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you,
the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
19 and his
incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power
is like the working of his mighty strength
Luke
12:22-29 NIV
22 Then Jesus said to his disciples:
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or
about your body, what you will wear. 23 Life is more than food, and the body
more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have
no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are
than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26
Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27
"Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you,
not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that
is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is
thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!
Romans 13:14
MSG
14 Get out
of bed and get dressed! Don't loiter and linger, waiting until the very last
minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about!
