SCRIPTURE:
ROMANS 12:2 [NLT] Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
OBSERVATION
These are words of encouragement "let God transform you" - so what does 09 look like if I "let God" ?
APPLICATION
I'm going to let God change my thinking. I'm going to discover His will for me, His good, pleasing and perfect will for me.
PRAYER
Father,
Go for it!
I want to LET YOU - change my thinking.
I'm not sure what all that is going to entail, but I cannot think a better thought today than: "LET GOD"
Go for it!

Ephesian 2:7 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Romans 12:2, cf v.1, I find it noteworthy Paul offers a holistic view of us when he writes of our bodies, our spiritual worship, and our minds. Our bodies are linked to spiritual worship. Transformation is linked to our minds – the renewal of our minds.
Transformation is linked to how we think and how we discern God’s will, i.e. what is good, acceptable, and perfect. Paul gives us, cf v.3ff, “thinking points” that, if practiced, will transform us: How we think of ourselves; discern/live our life; use our faith; relate to others; use our gifts; who to love and what to hate; how to outdo and compete with others; serving with attitude; generosity; what to do about those who hurt us and those who suffer/hurt; our response to evil; living in peace; and how to treat enemies – these thinking-points alone will not only renew my mind but they will transform my life!
