Devotional

This last month we have been exploring our personal relationship with God. The Bible is clear on what we are to do: love God and love others as we make disciples. This is a mandate for all of us that follow Jesus. Yet, in each of our lives this looks different. We are called to different mission fields, different churches, different countries, different careers and we all have different family/friendship circles.

"What does this look like for me though?" you might ask. "What is God wanting me to do specifically?" Well, coming back to Romans 12:2 it says to be "transformed by the renewing of your mind". This sentence is cross referenced with others that inform us that it is the Holy Spirit doing this in our lives. He wants to transform us to be more like Jesus in our character and what we do. When we allow this to occur and seek God with all our heart over time, we learn more of God's will for our life and His good, pleasing and perfect will. He shows us the mission field He has for us, He shows us who to love, who to serve and who to pray for.  

How are you seeking God this week to be transformed by the renewing of your mind?

Your brother in Christ,
James
