Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
There are three ways to dedicate yourselves in regard to this verse. The first would be to dedicate your mind to being renewed to have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:14-16). You do that by reading and doing what He said.
The second dedication is to the testing and discerning of our ways to see if they line up with God’s Will. Again, we do this by reading what God said and what He expects of us.
The third way is to dedicate ourselves to doing what is “good and acceptable and perfect.” You guessed it. Knowing that comes from reading God’s Word. Philippians 4:8 says that whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, and worthy of praise, we are to think on these things.
So, today’s dedication is simple to dedicate yourself to the reading of God’s Word and not only to read it but to DO it. James says that anyone that hears it but doesn’t do it is just deceiving themselves.
Don’t be deceived. Be DEDICATED.
Happy Hanukkah!
