Romans 12:2
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
There is believing and then there is really believing. If you told me you bought me a new car as a gift, I would believe you, sort of. I would certainly believe it much more when I had the keys, saw the car, and drove it around for a couple of months. My belief would grow into certainty and my gratitude would be so much more sincere. Do we really believe, really live like we really believe God’s Word?
God has demonstrated His love, taught us His ways, and promised His return. If you are a Christian, you’ve nodded your head to each of these. But what do you live like? Do you live as though these things were really true? A big part of our walk is just remembering, soaking in, and believing what God has said. In this way, we renew our minds. We begin to see things His way, to think like He thinks. Imagine a world where people really were like Jesus. Begin that wonderful process right now.
Prayer prompt: Lord, please drive the Truth down into my mind so that I believe it all the way down.
