Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
Romans 12:2 NLT
The world entices us with its fashion, beauty, and youthful preservation. But striving after and focusing on these things is not what God wants for us. He doesn’t want us to become carbon copies of those who have face-lifts, breast enhancements, and the most up-to-date wardrobes. For when we become so conformed to this world, we lose out on the most important thing of life: God’s transformational power!
To keep us from becoming conformed to a society that is often self-serving, rude, egotistical, vain, and violent, God wants us to renew our minds each and every day. He wants us to have attitudes and ideals that reflect His goodness. He wants us to change ourselves and the world from the inside out. For when we have our heads on straight, God will work to bring the best out in ourselves to the good of all. So fix your face on God’s, focus on His light and way, and see how brightly you begin to shine.
I’m being charmed by the world, Lord, and in the process I am losing touch with Your will for my life. Help me get some new thoughts and ideas, Lord, ones that would please You. Give me a God-attitude so that I can grow into the woman You created me to be. In Jesus’ name, amen.
