A Transformation of the Mind

Have you read Romans 2:2? Listen to what it says, "Don't copy the habits and patterns of the world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way that you think. Then you will know what his will is for you, and you will know how good and perfect and pleasing his will really is."

This morning, I meditated on this scripture. What a life-changing verse this can be, if we let it. This verse shows us the rewards of a strong spiritual life. The $64,000 question is--and the toughest part--is where do we start?

For myself, there are a number of ways I'd like to reflect a new person, but I think I just have to start with one thing at a time. Reading the Bible, keeping verses in my heart and recalling them throughout the day so that I am able to allow my old (or current) habits to fall by the wayside.
