Romans 12:2 (NIV)
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will
be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and
perfect will.
Don't be molded by the world. Wow, isn't that a tough one to
obey. It's a reminder that what we think is one of the places of greatest
spiritual warfare. Sloppy thinking is more than sloppy, it's dangerous because
we are fed messages constantly that distort God's truth and holy values. But
rather than being incensed by the world acting like the world, let's be
transformed by renewing our minds and doing what Paul said he did — take every
thought, every word, captive for Christ. We often think a tithe is giving ten
percent of our money, but an even more vital tithe is giving ten percent of our
totally undivided thought time to the things of God!
Thought for today:
Do I place my whole (self) in the things of God?
