Be transformed

“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.”Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Our world puts out a lot of ideas about how to keep our bodies: diets, exercise, foods to refrain from, foods we should eat. Yet, if we live from a kingdom focus we care for our bodies by allowing the Holy Spirit room. With Him in charge we don’t eat excessively, with lust for certain foods. exercise is not so we can feel good about achievement and be able to boast, but to enjoy being who God made us to be. I love to walk and hike , here I am out in God’s creation. I enjoy swimming but doing it for exercise creates problem in my muscles and tendons, I enjoy bike riding but it is here I have had the most accidents. What makes sense? Walk!

The next area is what we watch and read, and our time on social media. What we give ourselves to we become. If we want to be powerful Christians we need to spend time reading God’s word, praying and worshipping. We have to turns away from godless persuits and chase after the Lord, He alone has the life we need.

If we struggle with sin we need to press into the Holy Spirit for overcoming deliverance and power to walk in self-control, and God’s strength. Amen!
