So, you’ve decided you want to be a demure, godly woman. Good for you! But let’s clear up one thing: being demure doesn’t mean sitting in a corner, wearing a bonnet, and speaking in whispers (unless that’s your thing, no judgment). Demureness is about carrying yourself with grace, modesty, and a quiet strength that doesn’t need to scream for attention. It’s about embodying femininity in a way that honors God—without losing your personality. So, let’s dive into how a godly feminine woman can be demure, with a sprinkle of humor and some sarcasm for good measure.
1. Master the Art of the Polite Eye Roll
Let’s face it, being demure doesn’t mean you’re a doormat. When someone makes a ridiculous comment, you don’t need to launch into a lecture about theology. A simple, polite eye roll (internally, of course) will suffice. After all, being demure means knowing when to pick your battles—and sometimes, silence really is golden.
Scripture: “Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.” (Proverbs 17:28)
(Translation: Sometimes the wisest response is a well-timed silence. Or a very subtle eye roll.)
2. Say “No” with a Smile
Being demure does not mean being a people-pleaser who says “yes” to everything. You can graciously decline that third committee assignment or politely turn down an invitation to your neighbor’s cat’s birthday party. Just remember to smile and be sweet about it—because a demure woman knows her boundaries and values her time.
Scripture: “Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.'” (Matthew 5:37)
(Or in modern terms: Don’t overcommit yourself—ain’t nobody got time for that.)
3. Dress Modestly, Not Boringly
Some people think being demure means dressing in clothes that resemble burlap sacks. Not true! You can be stylish, fashionable, and modest all at the same time. Think of it this way: You’re like a classy mystery novel. You don’t give away all the secrets on the first page. Keep people intrigued with your elegance!
Scripture: “I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds.” (1 Timothy 2:9-10)
(Translation: You can look great, just don’t let your outfit upstage your heart.)
4. Perfect the “Mysterious Smile”
Demure women have mastered the art of the mysterious smile. It’s that subtle, calm smile that says, “I know something you don’t, but I’m too graceful to rub it in.” Whether you’re listening to someone rant about the latest drama or you’re asked a question that doesn’t deserve a full response, just flash that smile. It’s a polite way of saying, “Bless your heart,” without uttering a word.
Scripture: “She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” (Proverbs 31:25)
(And yes, that laughter includes your lovely, knowing smile.)
5. Speak Softly, but Carry a Big Prayer Life
A demure woman doesn’t need to raise her voice to be heard. She speaks softly, with grace and wisdom, but don’t be fooled—she’s a prayer warrior. When life gets tough, she’s on her knees, battling it out in prayer. You might be quiet, but spiritually, you’re a force to be reckoned with.
Scripture: “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16)
(In other words: Your prayers can do more than your words ever will.)
6. Don’t Mistake Demure for Dull
Being demure doesn’t mean you have to blend into the background like a beige wall. You can still have opinions, passions, and a sense of humor! (See? We’re doing it right now.) Demureness is about tempering those qualities with grace and wisdom. So, crack your jokes, but remember to keep it classy.
Scripture: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
(Translation: There’s a time to laugh, and a time to laugh politely.)
7. Be a Listener, Not a Lecture-Giver
Demure women listen more than they speak. Sure, you might have a wealth of wisdom to share, but sometimes, what people need most is someone to listen, nod sympathetically, and offer gentle encouragement. Save the sermons for Sunday.
Scripture: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” (James 1:19)
(Because nobody likes the “let me fix your life” lecture… no one.)
8. Let Your Actions Speak Louder Than Words
A demure woman doesn’t need to boast or draw attention to herself. Her actions, kindness, and character do the talking. Want to impress someone? Serve them with love. Want to show your strength? Offer grace when it’s least expected. Demureness is about letting God’s light shine through you, not making it all about you.
Scripture: “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
(Shine bright, but make sure it’s God’s light, not your own spotlight.)
9. Be Confident, Not Cocky
Confidence is key, but it’s about having confidence in Christ, not in yourself. A demure woman knows her worth comes from God, not from the approval of others. So, walk with your head held high—not because you’re all that, but because God is, and you’re His daughter.
Scripture: “For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.” (Proverbs 3:26)
(In other words: God’s got you, so you don’t need to be cocky about it.)
10. Laugh at Yourself (Because Life Is Funny, and So Are We)
Being demure doesn’t mean being serious all the time. Life is funny, and a godly woman knows how to laugh at herself and the ridiculousness that sometimes comes with being human. Sarcasm? Yes, it has its place—just keep it light-hearted and not at anyone else’s expense (unless it’s your cat’s birthday party… then maybe just a little).
Scripture: “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” (Proverbs 17:22)
(Laughter really is the best medicine, so take your dose daily.)
Being demure as a godly woman isn’t about shrinking back or being a wallflower. It’s about embracing grace, modesty, and strength in a way that honors God while staying true to who you are. So, go ahead—be demure, be strong, be funny, and keep that mysterious smile ready for the moments that truly deserve it.
