AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you]. |

Bible Note: If I may interrupt I think God often tests us not for God to learn about us but for us to learn about ourselves. If you recall Jesus told Peter he would deny Him but Peter swore he would never. However as scripture shows us Peter did in fact deny Christ. In this process we see that Peter grew, he became fearless in his preaching of the word of God. It is the same with us we never know where short comings are in our life until we are forced to face them. The big question then becomes how will we handle them. Will we learn to guard against them? Will we allow God to strengthened us in these short comings? Or will we become angry and defeated. Remember in the story of Cain and Abel, Cain was shown his short coming and got angry and God even asked him about it. Instead of learning and growing Cain became resentful and murdered his brother. When God allows us to see our weaknesses we have to learn to accept the lesson and grow in Christ. |
