Do not conform 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
In this day and age, society tends to put so much pressure on us to conform to its rules and norms. Even things that seem wrong are being passed as right and we find ourselves questioning whether to speak up or go along with it. After all, if we decide to speak up, the consequences may not be pretty.
But God urges us not to use society's principles to define our judgement and morality. Rather, we must conform to His Will. And where can we find His Will? In His Word; the Bible. God's Word helps to shape our thoughts and actions. The more we read it, the more we are able to understand as He speaks to us through It. It is then that we can confidently stand up and condemn wrongdoings and uphold His Truth and Righteousness.
The way we live must not be in sync with that of the world. We are children of God and therefore we must live as such. Don't let the ways of society corrupt your holy lifestyle but keep your eyes fixed on God as you walk through this journey of life with Him.
Stay blessed and stay a blessing.
