Today, while visiting a local detention center, I witnessed some female inmates attempting to woo a guard.  These ladies seemed to know all the right moves and they really turned on the charm to get what they wanted.  As these women sought to entice an officer to do their bidding I could not help but think of Prov. 31:30:  “Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; (But) a woman that feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.”

The wise man knew charm can be deceptive; hopefully the guard was wise enough to realize this truth.  The wise man also said beauty does not last.

Good looks, charm, money, fame…many manage to use these items to their advantage.  In the end what really matters is whether or not we are right with God.  Are you, dear reader, right with Him?
