Feb 21 - Behold the Lord
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind."
(Romans 12:2)

Dear Addison,
Inside, you're perfect--born again in the image of Jesus Himself. But
outwardly do you find yourself falling frustratingly short of that perfection?
Is
there a solution? Yes! The secret lies in "the renewing of your mind."
Romans 12:2 tells us that, if you'll renew your mind, you can actually be
"transformed." That word "transformed" is translated from the Greek word from
which we get the term "metamorphosis." It's used in Scripture in two other
places.
One of those places is when Jesus was transfigured on the Mount as He spoke
with Moses and Elijah. The other is found in 2 Corinthians 3:18. It says, "But
we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are
changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the
Lord."
Changed, transformed, transfigured! Those are powerful, exciting words, and
they describe what will happen to you as you spend time beholding the Lord
in the Word and in prayer. As you spend time renewing your mind, your outer
being will be transformed in much the same way as a caterpillar is changed
into a butterfly. Instead of conforming to the image of the world, you'll
begin to conform to the image of the reborn spirit within you which is created
in righteousness and true holiness.
Take time to get away from the world and study God's Word. Meditate on it and
let it change you from the inside out. Be transformed by the renewing of
your mind and release the beautiful spiritual butterfly that's living in you!
