Be Careful What You Think

 


We live in a culture that is pulling us in every direction. In today’s verse Paul is telling us to be careful with our thoughts. Don’t let this fallen world reel you in, rather keep your focus on God  who will transform you into a new person—changing the way you think.

 

“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)

 

In this process we are being changed into the image and likeness of Christ, as we abide in Him and He in us. It is a lifelong process that requires daily vigilance. In order to become more like Him we must spend time with Him. It may  mean walking away from other things that affect our thinking such as TV or social media and delving into His word. In getting to know Him better,  His thoughts begin to become a part of our thinking and over time we look more and more like Him.
