Gold and Pigs

I think I've mentioned before, but my daily readings are a little different than what I've done in the past. I read a little bit of the Old Testament, a little new, some of Psalms, and some of Proverbs every day. It's great, because by reading the other pieces at the same time it keeps me from needing to read 3 chapters in a row of Leviticus or Numbers... although, as I've shared over the past couple weeks, both of those books have some solid stuff in them!

It's been hard to get very much out of Proverbs this way, because I only get to read a verse or two at a time. Today was Proverbs 11:22. "Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion."

There's been a huge movement over the last couple decades for women to not be viewed as objects. The problem with the fight is that some women are like the gold ring in the pig's snout and aren't fighting, but instead are letting themselves be the objects. 

It's so important as a woman to know that you are loved by God. That He's a Father that loves and cares for His children. Those feelings of love don't have to come from other men. God is strong, He loves you, and He has great things to say about you! As a gold ring, let God's rays of sun shine and reflect off of you. Don't let desire or men in today's society convince you that your ring belongs in the pig slop... God has His own plan for you.
