"Do not conform, therefore, to the customs of the nations whom I am driving out of your way, because all these things that they have done have filled me with disgust for them. But to you I have said: You shall take possession of their land. I am giving it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I, the LORD, am your God, who have set you apart from other peoples." Leviticus 20:23-24
Where is God in your life? Is He front and center? Right along side? In the background or no where to be found? The answer to this question determines if you are conformed to the constant beat of the culture around us. Reading Chapter 20, God clearly states His abomination for child sacrifice(abortion), He clearly states His abomination of lewd sexual relationship, He is clear in His speech. The message of the world stands against God. We, His people, are not to conform to the way of the land but to stand against it as God sets you apart. Reading scripture opens up truth: "Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect. Romans 12:2 Be transformed, in the end He wins. - FACT
What is God saying to me:
Dear Father, I see Your pain and Your love as You transform the world to what love is truly about. Love without You isn't love, it is a lie. Give us the mind of Jesus to overcome our weaknesses, give us the heart of Jesus to love You, give us the compassion of Jesus to witness to Your truth. I thank You Father for the lesson, for the gentle reminders to live in faith. May we not forget to trust in You. Bless this day Jesus, Thank You for the blessings of Your Mother, give us her strength. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Mary, Mother of Christ, pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
