The Art of Attraction?

Everyone knows how the male of the human species attempts to attract the opposite sex.  They show off, either with physical ability, smarts, or with what their wealth can buy them.  The female generally goes about it a different way.  Even if they are smart, or have physical ability, neither of those assets seem to attract the carnal man, so they go with what always sells; that of course being sex.  Christians are not to act this way and the Scriptures are full of examples of what happens when we do.  The man who chases after such skin-deep attractions will wind up with the most shallow of mates.  The woman who cares little about the Commands of God will undoubtedly compromise in other areas as well.  At either rate, God is not impressed and neither should we be.

The Lord says, “The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their ankles…  In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery:  the bangles and head bands and crescent necklaces, the earrings and bracelets and veils, the headdresses and ankle chains and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms, the singed rings and nose rings, the fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses and mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls. Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth; instead of beauty, branding.”  Isaiah 3:16 & 18-24
