Romans 12:2 (New Living Translation)
Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
I love the wording of this verse in this translation.
Don’t copy the world! Who would want to copy the wars, famine, stupidity, and hatred? For some reason, the answer is too often “me.”
Let God. Get out of the way, stupid. God wants to transform me. He is working on me. I just need to do more “letting” and less “getting” (clever rhyme if I do say so myself).
Then I will learn. You mean if I stop trying so hard I will learn more? That doesn’t make sense to me. Then again, perhaps the whole point is to stop trying to make sense to me.
