Devotional: Living Set Apart 🤷🏾♂️↔️🙅♀️
In a world that often prioritizes self-indulgence and distraction, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. God calls us to a different path—one that honors Him and reflects His love.
Paul talks about the renewing of the mind in bible verse Romans 12:2 where he says:
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." — Romans 12:2 (NIV)
As we renew our minds through Scripture and prayer, we begin to see life through God's eyes. Instead of consuming ourselves with fleeting pleasures, let’s seek to understand His ways, which lead to true fulfillment and peace.😡↔️😁
🚨Paul goes into more detail in Ephesians 4:22-24:
“That, in reference to your former way of life, you are to rid yourselves of the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you are to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.”
🫡Paul tells us that the renewing of the mind involves a taking off and a putting on. We do this in several different areas:
✅️Take off the old self and put on the new self.
✅️Let go of our cultural perspective and put on a biblical perspective.
✅️Take off lies and replace them with truth.
✅️Let go of what we learned growing up and put on what we learned in the Bible.
🙏So we’re not just reading the Bible–we’re taking everything we’ve learned in the Bible, talking it all over with God, and actively trying to look at life through His eyes.👈🙉
You can’t do that without a working knowledge of the Word. You also need a ➡️willingness–and a desire–👈to change. And you need time with God as He is the One who renews our minds.
⏰️Today, take a moment to reflect. What worldly distractions can you set aside to focus more on God? Remember, you are called to be a light in this world, shining brightly for others to see His glory!
🙏Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to resist the pressures of this world and to seek Your wisdom daily. May my life reflect Your love and truth. Amen. 🙏💖
