A truck driver from out of town recently commented on the jacket I was wearing, which had a Lion embroidered on the front. He said, “You don’t see too many Detroit fans around here.”

I explained to him that the Lion on my jacket represented our local high school team, not the NFL team in Detroit.

Just as our clothing reveals our sports preferences, our actions show whether or not we are following Jesus Christ. In fact, the Bible compares our attitudes and deeds to clothing that we wear.

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”—Colossians 3:12.

Are you dressed appropriately today?
