Have you ever left a jug of milk in the fridge for way too long? When you eventually open the jug and pour it out, you can see (and smell!) that the milk’s gone sour. In the same way, when we choose to simply ignore the sin in our lives instead of actually getting rid of it, it sours us from the inside out. But when we choose to “pour out” the sour milk of our sin, God chooses to “pour out” His blessings on our lives in return!

The Old Testament’s filled with stories about the Lord commanding His people to do things that don’t necessarily make sense to us today. Yet in the end, all of God’s commands culminated in Jesus dying for us so that two thousand years later, we can all be saved. Even though we might not get why God did what He did in Scripture, we’ve got to trust that His plans are always perfect and that everything He did was for a purpose and a reason.

There’s a saying that “true beauty” is found when you look into a woman’s eyes, and see Jesus in her heart! Men are naturally attracted to sex, but the right kind of man will be able to look past temptation and hold out for true beauty. The best way for a woman to attract the kind of man who values her in all the right ways is to stop focusing on external appearances, and instead allow God to give her an internal makeover — the kind that will last for eternity!
