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.
Romans 12:2 NIV
This scripture is hard to implement in our lives, but it should be one of our bigger prayers. We should not want to conform to the world. The world’s ways are wicked and pull us from the righteous path.
Transforming and renewing our mind helps us to know God. It is the way. Paul goes on to say that when we have a renewed mind, we have a way to test and know God’s will. Read God’s word, know God’s will.
The end of this verse is a good reminder that God’s will is good, pleasing, and perfect. It is absolutely perfect. Know God’s will. Be in God’s will. Find him in everything and do what he commands. Stay in God’s will.
