"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." -Romans 12:2 (NASB)
Diane Ravitch, an education historian, is quoted as saying, "Sometimes the most brilliant and intelligent minds do not shine in standardized tests because they do not have standardized minds." While Dr. Ravitch is talking about testing and education, we can apply the same logic to our Christian lives. We shouldn't let the world squeeze us into its mold!
As followers of Jesus Christ, we should allow Him to renew our minds and spirits. Once we have been renewed, we may find that we no longer fit into the mold of the world. That's okay! We have a higher calling. We have minds that have been transformed, they are no longer standardized, earthly minds, but rather heavenly minds set on God's will and perfection.
Don't let the world standardize your mind. Look to God and allow your mind to be renewed and transformed!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Jesus so I can follow His example. Please renew and transform my mind and keep me from being squeezed into the world's standardized mold. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
