Do not
conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be
able to test and approve what God’s will is, his good,
pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
As the
return of Christ approaches, now, more than ever, we need to
begin to loosen our grip on this world, and strip ourselves
before God. Letting go of this flesh and its desires, and
allowing the Holy Spirit to purify our hearts, by
supernaturally imparting the character and righteousness of
Christ, within us. Not one of us is righteous enough to stand
before a Holy God. We can continue to limp through this life,
holding tightly to our self-imposed crutches, or we can
surrender ourselves to God, and allow Him to transform all
that is weak and rotten within us, making us strong, and
expelling the breath of the sweet-smelling aroma of His
righteousness.
Prayer
Forgive
us for glorifying this world and ourselves. We have been
seeking to fulfill the desires of this flesh, rather than
seeking to fulfill Your desires. Loosen our grip and fill us
with Your Spirit. We offer ourselves to You. Transform our
hearts and minds, according to Your perfect will. In Jesus
name we ask. Amen.
