Biblical Foundationsਨਮੂਨਾ

In today’s culture, people spend much time, money and energy on transformation. We invest in personal trainers, stylists, supplements and sometimes even surgery to get the results for which we are looking. Often, however, we spend far less time, money and energy transforming our mind and heart. While humans look at the outward appearance, God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). As believers, we must evaluate how we are investing our resources and energy into the things that God values.

How do we transform our heart? It’s a valid question, and I’m encouraged to say you are on the right path. As we spend time in God’s Word, we will grow to know Him more. The more we know Him, the more we can pattern our lives and actions after Him. Now, this doesn’t mean you won’t sin again. But it does mean that you will become much more aware of your sin and feel conviction to eliminate it from your life. Your desires will become more righteous as you seek to live a life honoring to God.

The fantastic part is that once you surrender your life to Christ, He will help you work on your heart. He will reveal areas in which you need to improve and things on which you can focus. Selfish goals will be replaced by ones that seek to honor and please God. By growing in our knowledge of God, through prayer and studying Scripture, we can become the men and women God created us to be. Over time, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we’ll reflect Him in our daily decisions and actions.

Pray: God, thank You for loving me enough to mold me into the person You designed me to be.
