Transformed by the renewing of your mind

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2).

As we read these words, may each of us pray, "Lord, change our way of thinking - and change our way of living." Let us feed our minds with God's Word - and pray that our lives will be transformed by his presence, his power and his purpose - "you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses" (Acts 1:8).
