BEAUTIFUL GIRLS AND STRONG YOUNG MEN

“People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from border to border searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it. Beautiful girls and strong young men will grow faint in that day, thirsting for the Lord’s word.”

Amos 8:12-13 NLT

Beautiful girls and strong young men were supposed to be the rage of their day. 

Supposed to be the Beauty icons of their generation.

Supposed to be role models of for the paparazzi to follow.

But something went wrong.

They will grow faint. 

They will thirst.

They will fail.

Because when we don’t have God’s Word as the compass of our lives we are aimless and wander about.

Our real identity is not in our public profile. Of beauty or strength.

Our genuine identity is shaped in our private profile. Of character and integrity. 

It is shaped in our personal relationship with God and His Word.

Real beauty is nurtured in prayer and character.

Real strength is developed in God’s presence and integrity.
