Scripture:
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
— Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
Points:
- Living as a Christian means rejecting the mold of the world’s thinking.
- Transformation begins not in behavior but in belief.
- Renewal of the mind comes through Scripture and the Spirit.
- The more we think like Christ, the more we live like Him.
- God’s will is not hidden — it becomes clear through transformed thinking.
Poem: New Thoughts, New Life
The world had shaped my thoughts for years.
It told me lies I thought were truth.
But You began to peel them back.
You gave me words that set me free.
You wrote Your truth upon my mind.
This change is slow, but it is real.
It starts with how I see myself.
No longer lost, but loved and found.
No longer stuck, but made brand new.
You speak, and I begin to think.
The old ideas still knock sometimes.
But now I test them by Your Word.
And what You say is what will stay.
The world may shout, but You define.
You teach my heart what You approve.
Your will is good and always right.
I do not chase it in the dark.
As You renew my mind each day,
I start to walk in clearer peace.
Your truth becomes the path I know.
So let my mind be Yours again.
Replace the fears, renew my hope.
Transform my thoughts to match Your love.
Let what is old be swept away.
And let Your truth be home to me.
Prayer:
Lord, renew my mind today. I don’t want to live like the world — I want to be transformed by Your truth. Shape my thoughts and guide me in Your perfect will. Amen.
