We all know when our heart is 100% the Lord's there is no room for compromising, whether it be the music we listen to, what we watch, what we read, how our time is spent, what we say and yes, even our standard of holiness in attire. It doesn't matter what the weather is, it could be 110 degrees, we still won't compromise even in the hottest summers!! At the park, beach or pool, it doesn't matter we will continue to glorify Him in the way we dress! I was on a mission to find modest bathing suits since this summer I will be going on a trip (near the beach) and knew I was going to go swimming.
I haven't been to the beach in almost 10 years and 10 years ago modesty wasn't an issue for me since I was in and of the world. Since this time is different, my whole heart is the Lord's there is no room for compromising even if I'll be around a lot of immodesty! As women of God we should cover ourselves even while swimming. Think about it, remember in Genesis in the garden when Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths to cover themselves? To me that sounds like a bikini type of outfit! The Lord obviously didn't approve since He made coats of skin and clothed them Himself!! Here are the verses to see for yourselves.
Genesis 3:7
7 And
the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked;
and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Genesis 3:21
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
If those loincloths didn't please the Lord, would the swimming attire these days please Him? I think not! And if not, then as women who desire to please God, should we go around wearing them even if everyone else is?
Romans 12:2
2 And
be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and
perfect, will of God.
Here are a few sites that I would love to share for modest swimwear. Click the brown words below to be directed to the sites.
Oh and this one for those ladies that want to workout and remain modest. I absolutely love this and hopefully if the Lord wills I will be able to get my own one day!
Now I pray that His standard for the way He desires us to dress and be are
revealed to each and everyone of us! Not only in the summer but all year
long! :) Lord Bless you all!
