A transformed thought

Text: Romans 12:2 (KJV)

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Have you ever wondered why your expectations about life have not all come true? Most of the time, it is because of our thoughts. The truth is most of us need to step up our game to achieve those things. We need to transform the way we think, and a renewal of our minds can only do this. The truth is the majority of us tend to follow the pattern of this world, which is not meant to be so and because of this, we end up thinking that this pattern is the right one, but we need to change that mindset. In our text of today, it tells us not to follow the behaviours and customs of this world, but instead, we should let God change or transform the way we think, and by doing so, we will end up doing things that please God. We as believers are meant to have this acceptable way of thinking, which is why it says in Psalms 51:10 - Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Our action of letting God clean us of our old and unacceptable way leads to us getting a new heart and spirit. Wow!!! This new personality makes us to judge right, and we end up following God’s perfect will for our life. Isn’t that amazing? The best part is that we also enjoy all-round peace and prosperity. Amazing. (If I were you, I would let Him start cleaning me up now.)

Although we have been transformed by God, we still need to have a constant renewal of our minds, and this can be done by our constant study and hearing of the Word of God. It says in Romans 10:17- so then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. We need to feed on the Word of God on a daily basis; by doing so, we end up being spiritually fat, which is a good one, because we will never get influenced by the world’s pattern anymore. This transfiguration usually starts from our thoughts, but eventually, it will start expressing physically, so be patient because God’s will is definitely good, pleasing, and perfect. Always remember, God has sent the Holy Spirit as a helper, so you are not alone. Just keep your heart fixed on Him because you will soon see those big dreams come to reality.
