Primping

I was reading a blog this morning about Blurry Vision it took me to Matthew 6:22-23. Great blog about the focus of our life/ministry.

But then I kept reading... and God took me somewhere else.
I went on to read Matthew 6: 28-32. (The Message)

28 All this time and money wasted on fashion—do you think it makes that much difference? Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildflowers. They never primp or shop,29 but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The ten best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them.30 “If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don’t you think he’ll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you?31 What I’m trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so preoccupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving.32 People who don’t know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know both God and how he works.

It gave me a different picture of the scriptures. One I have never seen or thought. I guess it caught me by surprise when I think about all of the time and money that is spent on Primping.
When is it too much? When is it insulting to God? At what point does "taking car eof ourselves" become primping? Where do we draw the line? (Honestly until reading this I never knew there was a line.)

Just something to think about.
