Topic: Does God Prefer Polyester or Denim? [Joyce Meyer’s Daily Friday, March 16th, 2018]
But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” — 1 Samuel 16:7
I used to be so judgmental about the way some people dressed. I used to think that I shouldn’t wear jeans while I was teaching at a conference, but my son said to me, “Do you really think that God anoints polyester more than denim?”
It took some things like that to shock me into the realization that I was just holding on to a religious attitude when God wanted me to freshen up my look in order to reach more people.
Sure, it’s good to dress nicely when we go to church. But the bottom line is, we shouldn’t be so focused on the outward appearance that we lose sight of our main goal: developing a close, personal relationship with God.

God simply wants us to fellowship with Him, which means communicating with Him throughout our day just like we do with someone who’s our close friend or family member. He doesn’t care about the outward appearance…only real relationship.
Spend time with Him, being grateful for what He’s done and is doing in your life. Have a real relationship with Him.
God, help me to have Your attitude about outward appearance. Help me not to judge others who don’t dress the way I think they should, and help me develop a strong inner relationship with You.
