We are concerned a lot about what we look like on the outside. A multitude of television commercials suggest new ideas in hair style, body development, and fashion. But as we look at our society today, what we need is a change on the inside. As Christians, we are new people, with the goal of being renewed in knowledge of all God wants us to be, and to do, according to His Word.
It is the "inner self" that is to be renewed everyday, as we seek guidance and direction from the Word of God. The Apostle Paul teaches us that: "We are not to be conformed to this world, but we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.."(Romans 12:2) Just as we must protect our body from incoming bacteria that can make us sick, and possibly kill us, we must protect and maintain the health of our inner self. We do that by studying and applying God's Word to our lives. Taking in the right spiritual food, so we can live lives that our right before God. We can look good on the outside, and be dying on the inside. Let's take care of that which will live forever! GP Photo by stockimages. Published on 14 October 2013 www.freedigitalphotos.net
