In 2 Kings 9 Jehu has been annointed king and killed Joram, the son of Ahab and Jezebel. Jehu arrives at Jezreel, where Jezebel is. I am not sure what Jezebel knew- if she knew that Jehu had killed Joram or not, but she does know that Jehu is arriving. So she painted her eyes, arranged her hair and looked out of a window (v.30). I guess she thought if she looked pretty, things would go better for her. But no amount of makeup and no amount of hair brushing can cover evil. God looks at our inside, not the outside.
O God please help us to see that the surface of our physical form is not who we really are. Help us to focus on keeping the inside good, on doing good and on loving you.
