For almost two years now I have been deeply stirred over what things in my life I need to surrender versus what is acceptable in the Lord's sight. I know the answers are in the Bible and this verse is a good start. I know I need to go to the Lord and seek His answers based on these words.
Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
I am struggling with TV. You cannot watch anything, even Dora or Blues Clues without a commercial that is unfit for viewing by children, let alone adults. When it comes to a show I wonder if I should watch or not, I try to think if I would watch this if the Lord was physically present in my living room. Most of the time, the answer is no. When it comes to what I do with my time, I try to think if I would do such and such if the Lord was physically present in my home. When it comes to everything I need to think this. There can be no gray areas when we approach life this way.
So, I still am searching for answers to this question in my life. But on my journey the Lord is revealing so much to me! I praise the Lord for the simplicity of the three in one! Thank you Lord for your Holy Spirit who speaks to me and leads me on! |
