Devotional

Don't copy the behaviour 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

By Brett Wilson

I can change my habits. I can go on a diet. I can follow a gym routine. I can take self improvement classes. I can study. I can get counselling. All these things are good and helpful. But nothing changes us like the power of God working within us.

The word of God is powerful. Not only because it gives us information about God. Not only because we learn God’s standards through it. But the word of God is powerful on a spiritual level to renew our minds.

Much of who we become is a product of how we think. What we focus on, prioritize, and protect largely determines the reality of our lives. If we dwell on God, prioritize our relationship with him and protect ourselves from temptation, the transforming work of the Spirit produces eternal fruit in our lives. When we read the Bible, when we pray, when we are thankful to God for his blessings, it will change the way we see the world, ourselves and God.
This is how Jesus brings change in our lives.

God bless you on that journey
