"Transformation"

A Blast From The Word
By Sandra Rhynes

“Transformation”

Romans 12:2 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.

When I go down the toy isle in stores, I see these objects that look like big massive metal looking men and if you work with them they turn into a car or some other machine. They are called Transformers, “more than meets the eye.” This is somewhat the way Jesus does us when we receive Him as our personal Savior. He comes in and transforms us to a different creature, brand new, if you will. We are to renew our minds on God’s Word daily to prove: what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. If you never read the Bible or pray to the Lord, there is no way you can be transformed into what Jesus wants you to be. I believe this verse is a command-not a choice. Others cannot tell you are His if you act, speak and do like the world. Whose are you? Do you prove you belong to Jesus or do you prove you belong to the world? Be transformed and renew your mind!!!

Lord, You are the Great Transformer! I thank You for transforming me into an image of You. Help me to renew my mind daily. I want others to know that I belong to You and You alone. I want to let Your Light shine today. Amen
