Discretion




Discreet! What does this word mean? To be reserved, careful, cautious, decorous,forethought, well mannered, well behaved, proper, modest, unassuming, humble, unpretentious,etc.

Gold is very precious and that is why it is found in dangerous and difficult places and it takes a lot of process to separate the real gold from the fake one. It is the same with a woman of God. She is precious to God and she is very hard to find because for her to be all the things that God requires from her is not an easy journey. One of the things the woman of God must be is descreet and as mentioned above, being discreet means many things. And the one who seeks to please God will have the pleasure to surrender herself to God that He may help her to be these things.

When a woman is indiscreet, she  does not put improper make up - putting too much, she is not loud, but she knows her position as a woman of God. An indiscreet woman lacks prudence and is reckless.   "Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion." Proverbs 11:22

The one who is discret dresses properly, not revealing too much as the world shows many young woman today. She takes care of her body because it is precious and as the bible says it is the temple of the Holy Spirit which should be respected. And she respects her body! She does not wnt to show off and she listens, not being the one who always wants to be heard.

Be cautious, careful in the way you speak, your conduct of speech especially  with regard to respecting or maintaining privacy or silence about something of delicate matter. Also we should take time to examine this word 'discretion' and put it into practice. The one who is discreet is a wise woman!    

   Our behaviour says more about who we are. And a discreet woman draws more attention. More than anything she draws the attention of God which is what is most needed.
"The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought for their ways..." Proverbs 14:8
