“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2
It’s not enough not to conform. As you are you’re still not what God wants you to be. You need another step. You need to be transformed. Psalm 119:9 – “How can those who are young keep their way pure? By living according to your word.”; “Keep their way pure” – a continuous action. Today and everyday live according to God’s word.
“Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” James 1:22
Depend on God -“For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” 2 Chronicles 16:9
Accept Yourself as God's Chosen Vessel -“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18
Allow God to Cleanse You - “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
Be Filled with the Living Water -“Be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 5:18-20
Pray - I cling to the cross, confess my sins, and yet again ask for forgiveness and the strength to continue to walk in a manner worthy of my calling. I will choose to follow you Jesus, regardless of the difficulties, the humiliation, and the suffering. Help me LORD Jesus! Amen.
