Romans 12:2 KJV
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
It is easier to blend in than to stand out. It takes less effort to compromise than to stand on principles. It is little wonder, then, that there are not too many people around who know what they stand for or believe, or who can give full proof of their beliefs and convictions. We are in a world of no convictions, no principles, all compromises and sitting on the fence.
God is looking for men whose hearts have been transformed, who can in turn transform their environment. You cannot give what you don't have, neither can you make a withdrawal from an account you have not made any deposit into. A transformed mind is what God is looking for so he can use, and true transformation only comes from submitting to the life-giving, life-changing Word of God. As we allow God work in us and through us, we become his message to the world, a breathing example of what God can do with a life totally given to Him.
You want to make changes around you? You want to know what is God's good, pleasing and perfect will? Let God first change you, then God can change the world around you through you. It all starts with you. His time of favour is here.
