Today's Devotion:
"STRUGGLE WITH JESUS"
The caterpillar crawls around on the
ground, then spins a cocoon called a
chrysalis.
He says in the cocoon for 5-21 days.
The transformation from worm to
butterfly sometimes varies according
to the temperature of the environment.
__________SCRIPTURE__________
Rom. 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but
be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that ye may prove what is
that good, and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God.
KJV
__________THOUGHT__________
In his letter to the Romans, Paul presents
an exposition of the doctrine of eternal
salvation through Christ alone!
In the Scriture quoted above, Paul uses
the terms "conformed" and "transformed"
as a contrast to living the Christian life.
"CONFORMED," is a Greek word which
speaks to fashioning a person to the
same as others in the world.
"TRANSFORMED" is a Greek word which
speaks to being changed to a different
nature.
Conformed denotes gradual change which
may vary from year to year.
But transformed presents a gradual change
of nature like the caterpillar to the butterfly.
God's transformation could be likened to
changing a baby: often, awkard at times,
and sometimes messy!
Jesus desires to do something IN us, by
CHANGING us to THINK and to DO as
HE desires!
The caterpillar surrenders to God's call
and gradually is changed to a butterfly.
The baby surrenders to God's natural
use of the parent, and becomes ABLE
to be GROWING into an ADULT!
Are you STRUGGLING in life with the
inconsistancies of others?
Surrender to Jesus and be CHANGED
by God's PROCESS.
He will help you be TRANSFORMED into
His likeness!
Love ya!
