Today I would like to share a verse that is really good and what it means.
As a ring of gold in a swine’s snout,
So is a lovely woman who lacks discretion.
Proverbs 11:22
Now who would want to see a ring in a pigs snout!?! Wouldn't that just be ugly? That is what it is saying. As beautiful and pretty as a woman can be if she doesn't have discretion she can get to be pretty bad looking.
Discretion means:
- To judge what is correct and proper
- United with caution
- Prudent (Which means cautious in determining on any action or line of conduct)
- Guarded
- Dressing modestly not attracting attention
- Having friendships that will not draw you away from God
- The way we talk
- Being careful not to flirt with boys because they could get the wrong feeling about you
- By guarding the movies we watch, the music we listen to and the books we read. They should not contradict the Bible.
God bless,
Rebekah
Thank you so much for posting this Rebekah. This is a great lesson for us "older" women too.
