Day 3 | Are you conforming?
Apr 19, 2023 10:01 am
Scripture: Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. (Romans 12:2, MSG)
Reflection: It is easy to conform to the standards of this world. Society tells us how to dress, how to act, and what to value. We see it in movies, TV shows, social media, and even at work. We might feel pressure to fit in or be accepted by others, but this often means conforming to the world's standards. However, as Christians, we are called to be different from the world. We are called to live according to God's standards and values, which may not always align with those of the world.
We face many pressures to conform to the standards of the world around us. It's easy to adopt the values, attitudes, and behaviors of the culture we live in without even realizing it. We might find ourselves compromising our beliefs, values, and morals to fit in with those around us. We might also prioritize our own comfort and pleasure over doing what is right and honoring to God. But as believers, we are called to resist conforming to the world and instead be transformed by renewing our minds according to God's standards.
Prayer: Dear God, help me to resist the pressure to conform to the standards of this world. Guide me in living according to your standards and values. Help me to always seek your will for my life and to resist the temptations that come with conforming to the world. Amen.
Get into Action: Take some time to reflect on areas of your life where you may be conforming to the standards of this world. Are there any behaviors or attitudes that you need to change in order to live more according to God's standards? Write down some practical steps you can take to resist the pressure to conform to the world and to live according to God's will.
