Romans 12:2
"Do
not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind,
that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, and what is good and
acceptable and perfect." ESV
To conform
is an action word that implies we have a choice. We can choose to come into
harmony with God and His Word or with the world and its' mindset and practices.
God's Word says that we are not to conform to this world. Any transformations
that take place in us, as Christians, are to come from the Holy Spirit within us
by changing our thinking to conform to the Word. Only then, will the knowledge
and mysteries of our God be revealed to us.
Heavenly
Father, show us where in our lives we have not yet allowed our minds to choose
changes that bring us into full harmony with You. Help us to stir our faith so
that we will be strong and become more like Christ. In His name we pray,
Amen.

It is always a good reminder to not be conformed to this world. It is so easy to fall into the trap of wanting and trying to be like the world. Thank you for sharing this encouraging post.
