I saw this on the internet this week, and thought it was kind of funny… but also informative. If you have ever wondered how to gird up your loins, here is the definitive guide:

Liberating you from bad ideas about God
Stop relying on pastors and Bible teachers to tell you what the Bible means.
Read this book and learn to study the Bible for yourself. Available now on Amazon.
The book discussion questions with each chapter to make it perfect for a home study group. There is also a LONG appendix on how to understand the violent passages in Scripture.
Obviously this is a guy thing. Therefore, women can ignore those verses about girding up your loins. ๐
Proverbs 31:17
I was studying Jeremiah 1:17 as think a couple of weeks ago I woke up in my spirt to the number 117
Some might wonder why wear a long tunic in a hot climate. In fact, a loose fitting tunic was more comfortable since air could enter at the ground and flow upwards around the sweaty body to help it stay cool. A loose neck and arm holes allow much air to flow. Girding the loins would also have the effect of protecting the genitals since no one wore undergarments.
Interesting post. Thanks.
I’ve been girding up my loins since I was 17, and while I always instinctively felt I was doing it correctly, it is nice to see this empirical loin-girding information! Thank you!
