Faith Builders: Transform

Dont 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 know what God wants you to do,
and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is.
-Romans 12:2

As I did my quiet time today, the words jumped out at me. “God does not hide his will from you”. I had to think about that for a minute. Many of us spend so much time trying to figure out what God is telling us to do, not only in the large decisions, but in the everyday mundane choices we make in our lives. We forget that Christ gave us the answers to all of these questions in his Word, yet we passively place it on a shelf between church services.

We foolishly believe that if we copy the behavior and customs of those around us, we will find happiness. Happiness is found while resting in the palm of the one who created us- not in the things man has ordained as important. His answers are given to us in a tangible manner, if we choose to seek them and apply them.

The crux of the matter being that little word if.

Discussion: What is keeping you from discovering God’s will for your life? How often do you dive into the one place that can give you the answers to those questions? When was the last time you knew how “pleasing and perfect” His will truly is?
