Today’s verse outlines the commitment and steps necessary in developing a godly lifestyle. Paul was teaching believers not to be conformed to the patterns of the world.
We’re always being influenced by people, some of whom are not following God’s ways. Our society tells us to put self first, take what we want, and promote our own interests above others’. In contrast, Scripture says that our heavenly Father will provide what we truly need (Philippians 4:19), we are to deny ourselves and follow Jesus (Luke 9:23), and the humble—not the proud—shall receive honor (James 4:10).
At the same time, Paul urged us to pursue godly transformation of our mind, to set our thoughts on things above (Colossians 3:2), and to focus on what is true, right, pure, and lovely (Philippians 4:8). Adopting a Christian worldview requires making adjustments in how we look at life, until our thoughts line up with Scripture. We must also protect our mind with biblical truth and surround ourselves with mature believers who can warn us when we start to stray.
Ask yourself, Am I focusing on what is important to the Lord? Let the Holy Spirit empower you to make the changes necessary to be more like Christ.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: 1 Chronicles 4-6
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Following Christ is a journey of transformation, where He reshapes our thinking to match His.
