Conform To God’s Will

 

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 has not come true? Most of the times, it is because of our thoughts.  We need to transform the way we think to God’s will and this can only be done by a renewal of our minds. The truth is majority of us tend to follow the pattern of this world, but we need to change that mindset. In our text of today, it tells us not to follow the behaviors and customs of this world, but instead allow God to transform yourthought life as to 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.  This new personality makes us to judge right and we end up following God’s perfect will for our life. Isn’t that amazing?

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 daily; which makes us spiritually fat that ends negative influence which as the world’s pattern. Friends, major transformation usually starts from the thoughts, and eventually expresses to the physical and we begin to do good and acceptable will that pleases God. 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 in Jesus name.
