“I will greatly
rejoice in the LORD, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me
with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of
righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride
adorns herself with her jewels.” (Isaiah 61:10 NKJ)

I grew up with three
girls and believe me, it is comical to watch women choose what to wear on any
given occasion. There’s Sunday clothes, school clothes, everyday clothes,
vacation clothes, special occasion clothes and so on. Then, despite all those
clothes, they will loudly claim, “I don’t have anything to wear.”
Then off to the mall and depending on their mood, they may find something they
like or not.

I have concluded
that it is in the female genome set because, as a boy, I noted that the women
in my life (mother, both grandmothers, aunts, sisters and female cousins) were
all affected too. And then I got married and had children. My wife, her mother,
her sister and our daughter were infected with this strange devotion to new
clothes.

And I noted that
this phenomenon did not affect my father and father-in-law. They didn’t even
know how to match colors. They would wear whatever was in the closet, even
outdated stuff. And I and my son didn’t seem to suffer from this malady either.
In fact, I have never met a man who did, although I once worked for a man who
shopped for new shoes every week.

Another thing about
this female infatuation for new clothes. The different, new garments create
such a joyful spirit and attitude in the ladies. I am not sure if it is the new
items or merely shopping for them that brings the joy, but there is one thing certain:
the ladies glow afterwards. I suppose we men ought to rejoice greatly in that
benefit alone. It is a small price we pay.

Dear Father, thank
you for the garment of salvation we enjoy through Christ. Cover us with the
ornaments of your righteousness and give us joy. I pray this in the name of
Jesus. AMEN
