“What to Wear?”
Ephesians 6: 10-18
Question for the men today: How much thought actually went into your wardrobe choice today?
Perhaps your wife or loved one suggested what to wear today?
Maybe they even picked out your outfit for you!
Someone may have secretly chosen your outfit, knowing it would coordinate perfectly with their own.
Truth is,
most (not all) men put very little thought into what they wear every day.
Men rarely lose sleep over their
clothing choices.
Men do not spend weeks, or even days most of the time, planning their outfit prior to an event
like we gals do.
Listen up, men, here is a glimpse into what women go through.
I recently attended a family wedding.
Weeks before the special event, I started thinking about what to
wear! Dress or pantsuit.
Good place to start.
Summer.
I chose a dress.
Sleeves or sleeveless?
Again,
summer.
Sleeveless (and good thing as it was 94⁰ that day).
Shoes.
Sandals.
Open or closed toe?
Match or
accent the dress?
Color?
Most often, color is the main deciding factor.
And, ahh, the accessories.
Accessories
are key here.
Purse.
Handbag or clutch?
Again, color.
Match or accent?
It’s always nice if the shoes and
purse match.
Jewelry.
Hair.
Makeup.
Endless details to consider.
And, beware!
One small change can lead
to complete alteration of everything!
Think of a bride!
Women surely can recall the preparations, decisions and details that a wedding entails.
Brides can try
on numerous dresses, only to end up selecting her original choice.
The first one she first fell in love with.
The
one that she felt was the “perfect fit,” in all ways, for her.
Created just for her.
Perhaps even the one she
dreamed of as a little girl.
(Side note: Men typically do not choose the attire for the men in the wedding party;
it’s the bride who chooses!) Clothing.
Our choice in clothing is determined by many things.
Seasons and climate.
Comfort.
Our mood.
Our
health.
Occupation.
Financial and social status.
The day’s planned activities.
Are we lounging at home or
headed to work?
It’s fascinating really when we think about it.
We can gather much information simply by
examining someone’s outfit.
Police officers, firemen and military personnel are dressed in uniforms that identify immediately their
profession.
We know what they do simply by looking at them.
We know that their uniforms and professions
command respect.
Involve danger.
An officer can stop an 18-wheeler simply by raising his/her hand.
Those in
the medical field can be identified by their clothing.
Office workers, laborers, priests, the list goes on and on!
This was evident throughout the Bible even.
Kings, queens and rulers could be identified by their attire.
Slaves.
Egyptians.
Hebrews.
Wealthy.
Needy.
Color was (and is today) an important, identifying feature.
Brides typically wear a shade of white.
Those grieving may wear black or darker colors.
Purple was
signature for royalty in the Bible.
White with peace, divinity and renewal and life.
The Book of Genesis tells
of the first outfit ever designed.
Genesis 3:21, “The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife
and clothed them” (NIV).
Many have pondered the reason for the first outfit created.
