Today's Mental Image:

A Too Tight Cultural Fit
-

It Is You Who Proves What The Good and Acceptable

and Perfect Will of God Is!

-

-

Romans 12:

-

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,

that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

[vs. 2] New King James Version
-

- * -
So here's what I want you to do, God helping you:

-

Take your everyday, ordinary life

—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—

and place it before God as an offering.
-

Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.
- 

-

Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.

[vss. 1-2] The Message
