Our Scripture reading today is Romans 12:2, "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."
The way we renew our mind is through the Word of God. A daily dose of God's Word goes along way to changing the way we think. When we change the way we think, we change the way we act. Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
It is always God's will that we hear His Word and then we apply or obey His Word. James 1:22, "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." God's Word changes the lives of those who yield to it's precepts and principles.
