Modesty Saves Money

In difficult times when people are losing their jobs left and right and are short of money for any number of reasons, even those of you, dear sisters, who haven't taken modesty very seriously, might want to look at it again. I will give you a few reasons for modesty that you might have an ear for now:

• If you stop using make up, you can save the money you spent on eye shadow, lipstick etc. According to the book of Enoch, the shadowing of the eye is one of the skills brought to us by the Watchers, designed to defile mankind.
• If you start wearing a head covering 24/7, you can save the money you used to spend at the hair dressers as much as what you spent on hair spray, gels or other fancy things. Simple shampoo, even baking soda and vinegar, will do just fine. Read 1 Cor 11 to find out why wearing a head covering might be a good idea.
  
• If you stop buying clothing of the latest fashion, you will have plenty of money for some fabric to sew for yourself some simple dresses or skirts and shirts. If you don't have sewing machine, you can easily buy one from the leftover money that will still be in what used to be your clothing budget. And read 1 Ti 2 and what Paul has to say about apparel.
  
• If you stop wearing jewelry, you can sell what you have and use the extra money to stock up on food, or buy a water filter, or seeds, or any other tangible that will keep you alive when things get worse. Read 1 Pe 3 for another chapter that mentions jewelry and adornment in general.
  

These are just examples... There is much more to modesty, but if you start with these, it will already save you considerable money. Oh, and shut off the TV and cancel whatever channels you were paying for. That will help too ! And comment please, if you have something to add :)
