Bible Verse of The Day – 3-31-21

Romans 12:2 (NKJV) 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Part of learning to walk by faith is learning to allow God to transform us by way of renewing our minds.

Well, what does that mean?

In a nutshell, it means that as we press in to God and learn of Him, the way we think and reason will be fundamentally changed.

As we grow into a mature believer, our thought processes will change.

We will no longer think solely by logic or intellect. We will begin to learn to think by way of the Holy Spirit.

Wait. What?

Yep! We will learn to allow the Spirit of God to guide our thoughts in a way that actually defies typical human reasoning.

As we do this, we will begin to see all other facets of our lives also be transformed.

And as that happens, our lives as a whole will change because we will no longer have the same set of values.

By this, I mean that what we see as important will change drastically over time. What we used to value highly will no longer hold as large a place in our hearts. In fact, some things that we used to think were terribly important will now mean very little to us.

But here’s the funny part about that.

As we genuinely place God higher and higher in our hearts, putting Him above all else, He will begin to give us some of those very things that we forfeited in order to allow Him to have that higher place in our lives.

Then, all we need to do is make sure we continue to keep Him there.

1 Kings 3:11-13 (NKJV) 11 Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, 12 behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. 13 And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.
