Romans 12:2: "Do not be conformed to this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..."
Everyone chooses either a biblical or worldly philosophy as his
or her source of truth--and that choice shapes the mind and spirit. Therefore,
the Lord tells us to immerse our mind in Scripture, allowing Him to mold us
into His beautiful image.
The Bible story about the Israelites wandering in the wilderness
illustrates this principle. After saving them from Pharaoh's abuse, God did not
bring them immediately to the Promised Land. Instead, He led them to the
wilderness and gave the Ten Commandments. Only after they learned to obey
and turn to almighty God were they ready for the next step.
The process of sanctification isn't always pleasant. In
fact, it's often painful for us, just as it was for the Israelites. In God's
amazing wisdom and love, however, He knows what we need to leave our old ways
that lead to death. And He builds new character in us--full of life and joy.
