Ladies throughout the nation can be found carrying Coach purses. This popular handbag is known for its signature “C” on the side. In the eighties, Guess jeans were all the rage. They were recognizable by the triangle tag on the bag pocket bearing the “?” logo. Most brands have a signature style.

Let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love.

I Thessalonians 5:8

Many people do, too. Think of Jackie O. and her famous large sunglasses. Today’s verse encourages Christians to adopt a signature style of their own. Followers of Jesus should wake up each day and put on faith and love. It’s easy to throw on jeans and boots without thought, but choosing to trust in God and care for others requires one to be intentional. “By this all people will know that you are my disciples.” (John 13:35)

In today’s recommended reading, Jesus shows you how to adopt the signature style of a Christian. Seek to follow His example, and ask God to help you be more intentional about dressing yourself with faith and love. Then pray for your nation’s leaders to conduct themselves in office with that same belief in God and concern for others.
