Deuteronomy 22:5
“A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the LORD your God.
Somewhat ironic and fitting on Halloween. :-)
The reality behind this is God's design in gender. He has created us in His image as male and female to reflect His nature and glory in specific roles and character. When we fail to reflect His nature by act, attitude and appearance, we dishonor His very nature. Living into God's nature in regards to gender means recognizing and embracing roles of leadership, accountability, submission, sacrifice, strength, tenderness and the like. We are to be clothed with the vary nature and character of God in all that we do (Col. 3).
Father, clothe me with your character and empower me to be the man You have designed me to be. Teach me to be humble and strong, wise and gracious, resourceful and generous, and to look like You in all that I do and say. Amen
