Timothy 2:9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest
apparel…

Modesty,
it’s a hard concept to define. I mean on the surface it’s easy, we can avoid
clothes that show too much. But it’s more than that I think. It’s mostly a
matter of the heart, really. One person can look at a shirt and see a perfectly
acceptable article of clothing, nothing wrong with it; yet, another can look at
that same shirt and say that it is immodest. Who is wrong? That’s where modesty
becomes difficult to define. If a woman, in her heart, before God fully
believes that her wardrobe is modest, who’s to tell her it’s not? Can’t any man
find something to lust over even if a lady is fully clothed from head to toe? So, that leads me back to the heart. If I
believe, in my heart, that I’m not immodest then what more can I do? If,
however, my intention is to grab the attention of every man in the room, then
of course, I’m no longer modest; no matter what I’m wearing. So, perhaps we
should spend more time examining our hearts than we spend examining our
wardrobes because really it’s much harder!
