Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Rom 12:2

Renewal of Mind

When being confronted by the crossroads of life, it seems almost impossible for us to know and follow the right path we need to tread upon. Even the believer who wants to know the plan of God, is not sure what he should follow, for the mind also contains the knowledge that the world has offered, and that is why it is important to have a  constant renewal of the mind, as Paul suggests: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Rom 12:2). With the light we receive from the Grace of God, we can discern what is good and pleasing to His will, that leads to our perfect destiny: “Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Rom 12:2). May God grant us more of His guidance and instruct us through the indwelling presence of His Spirit.

 

Abba, thank You so much for transforming our minds. Let Your Spirit help us have our minds renewed, in Jesus’ Most Wonderful Name, Amen.
