Monday, January 5, 2026 Romans 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.” Today’s Reflection In a world filled with constant pressures to fit in, follow trends, and chase fleeting pleasures, Romans 12:2 calls us to a higher standard. The Apostle Paul urges believers not to conform to the patterns of this age, which often lead to emptiness and distraction from God’s truth. Instead, we are invited to undergo a transformation through the renewal of our minds. This renewal isn’t a one-time event but an ongoing process of aligning our thoughts, attitudes, and decisions with God’s Word. By doing so, we gain clarity to discern His will, what is truly good, pleasing, and perfect in His eyes. Paul’s message reminds us that true change starts from within, powered by the Holy Spirit, who reshapes our perspectives and empowers us to live counter-culturally. In our daily lives, this means resisting the pull of materialism, comparison, or moral compromise and instead seeking God’s guidance through prayer, Scripture, and community. As we renew our minds, we become living proofs of God’s transformative power, reflecting His character in a broken world. Today, let this verse challenge you to examine areas where you’ve been conforming and to embrace the renewal that leads to a life aligned with His divine purpose. Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for the call to transformation in Your Word. Help me not to conform to the ways of this world but to renew my mind daily through Your truth. Guide me to discern and follow Your good, acceptable, and perfect will in all things. Strengthen me by Your Spirit to live differently, for Your glory. Amen. Today’s Action Step Identify one area of your life where you’re tempted to conform to worldly patterns, such as social media influences, work pressures, or personal habits. Spend time in prayer asking God to renew your mind in that area, and commit to reading a related Bible passage or journaling your thoughts on how to align it with His will. Carry this intention with you throughout the day as a reminder of His transforming power.

I know what reality is!!
