My Thoughts on 1 Peter 3

Recently, I stepped into a beauty salon for facial session since I had my girl. What a shock it was for the beautician when I told her that I had not had any facial since December 2006

"How could you neglect your skin?" her said. "We, woman should take good care of our skin as we aged faster after childbirth." she continued. I told her "It is OK, all these are not that essential to me." The beautician continued to emphasis on the important of up keeping ourselves. All the time, I kept telling her that it is not that important as there are things more important then up keeping our look. After the session, as usual they tried to persuade me into taking a package course with them. I really had to fight hard to temptation to say "NO". In the past, I will take up the package but now I will really consider properly before forking out a sum of money to "pamper" myself.

During the facial session, I got deep in thoughts of – Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or putting on of apparel. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 1 Peter 3:3-4

Wearing of gold or plaiting of hair is not what God want from me. What God really wanted from me is to be a woman trusted in God and adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husband – 1 Peter 3:5. Not the harlot in Proverb 7

Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. Proverb 7:27

If I really signed up the package, then I would have fallen into Satan's trap. Why?

• Focusing on myself rather then God and my family;
  
• Putting pressure on our family finance;
  

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands Proverb 14:1

My husband was quite surprise when I told him that I did not sign up the package. He said "I thought you will sign up but anyway if you want to go for a facial session when ever you wanted to just go ahead but plan your time properly."

Wow, what a blessing! If I just signed the package without thinking, I guess the outcome would be "You knew that we are not doing that well and our daughter's term fee is due in a week time and you topped it up by signing for a facial package that cost over $1000!" "You got no brain to think is it?"
