Do Not Conform

Do Not Conform

As I was praying and writing in my journal, this morning, God placed Romans 12:2 on my heart. 

Recently, the Lord has made me hyper aware of how many people are playing “Christian.” We “get away” with it by claiming that anyone who comes against us are judging us and we quote Matthew 7 about not judging. But who are we kidding?

Paul wrote that we are NOT to conform to the patterns of this world. Yet, that’s exactly what we do. We focus on the ways of the world, then we pattern our walk after that so we can fit in. 

Why?

I want to challenge you to take time out of your day, or better yet, your weekend, and spend time alone with God. Ask Him to point out areas in your life where you are conforming to the patterns of this world. Ask Him to transform you by renewing your mind. Accept that the world will not like the new you, but God will. Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Romans 12:2

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.
