PB Devotional

Therefore I urge you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies [dedicating all of yourselves, set apart] as a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your rational (logical, intelligent) act of worship. And do not be conformed to this world [any longer with its superficial values and customs], but be transformed and progressively changed [as you mature spiritually] by the renewing of your mind [focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His plan and purpose for you].“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭AMP‬‬

It seems people commonly speak of three different options for engaging ideas and practices in the world.

How do we respond when the world shows us something? We can reject them as inappropriate and unhelpful. We can receive them as good and helpful. Or we can “redeem” them by changing what is bad and reframing what is good. Reject, Receive, Redeem; you could even say: abandon, accept and accommodate, but the meaning is essentially the same.

Reject.    Receive.    Redeem.

In your life…What do you need to reject? What do you need to receive? What needs to be redeemed?

What have you realized about yourself so far?
