When doing projects around the house, there are things that I change as time goes by. The choices that I made when I first moved in are different than the vision that I have now. The same is true for life. As time goes on, we change and grow. As we grow, we need to be sure that we do not change for the sake of conforming to this world!
The text in Romans reminds us that the world may pressure us to conform, but we need to be aware of these forces and their impact on our lives. Instead of allowing these pressures to make us conform, we need to live in God and allow Him to be transformed. With God, we can be renewed, we can be transformed, we can be redeemed. In God, we can do more than conform and survive, we can be transformed and work to make the world a better place!
Do not just conform to the world. Turn to God, be transformed, and make the world a better place.
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your willingness to transform me. Help me to accept Your work in my life and enable me to make the world a better place in Your Name. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
