A Bit Modest

Genesis 9:20-27

Immodesty is a huge deal to me. I try to realize that most of the people out there dressing themselves so scantily are not believers in Jesus, and therefore are going to be immodest to an extreme. I love that Noah cursed the son who looked on his nakedness. How often do I neglect to hide my eyes? Opportunities to look on another's near nakedness are everywhere, even at a church that I sometimes attend. I need to hide my eyes and give the other person their modesty. Yes, I do believe that I and everyone else should cover our nakedness, just as the Lord made skins to cover the nakedness of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. But I choose to not forget the additional responsibility of hiding my eyes, and if the opportunity is given to me, to cover over the other persons nakedness.
