Have any of your friends ever asked you, “Why don’t you cut your hair?” What was your response? Did you say, “Well it’s my religion” or “My parents won’t let me” or “I can’t, just because . . . . . .”? Actually there is a far great reason than religion, your parent’s wishes, or some vague explanation. We don’t cut our hair because God’s Word commands the woman to have long hair. (See 1Corinthains 11) Our obedience then brings a wonderful promise of protection. Like the armor of God, our uncut hair provides a covering of safety for us and our families.
Furthermore, according to I Corinthians 11:10, we have power on our head because of the angels. That literally means there are big, strong angels watching over you all the time. I like to call them “Angelic Bodyguards.” A ‘bodyguard’ is a person who is responsible for the physical safety of someone. All important people such as presidents, kings or queens have many bodyguards who carry guns and watch over them. Just think, you are so important to God that He has appointed special angelic agents to watch over you 24/7.
The length of your hair is not important because God made every person different. He decides how long your hair grows and what matters to Him is that you never cut the hair created especially for you. Never put a scissors to your hair because the Bible says your long hair is a glory to you. This means your uncut hair is a visible sign of God’s glory resting on your head. Perhaps that is why your friends ask about your hair. Your light is continually shining for Jesus when they see your uncut hair. Please, don’t ever put out that glorious light. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!
