Dress for success
10 I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Isaiah 61:10Bible Reading
Proverbs 4:9
9 She will set a garland of grace on your head; she will present you with a crown of beauty.”
You would not wear dirty clothes to a wedding. Why wear a cluttered mind into life? Solomon tells us that wisdom dresses us up. She sets a garland of grace on our head. She presents us with a crown of beauty. Wisdom is the ultimate makeover. It changes how you speak. It changes how you solve problems. It changes how people perceive you. When you study, you are stitching together a royal garment. Every chapter you read adds a thread of gold. Every exam you pass adds a jewel to your crown. Do not despise the process. You are getting dressed for a great future. Walk with your head high. You are not just a student; you are a candidate for glory. Finish the course and wear the crown well.
