Theme For David Jeremiah Devotional 18th December 2019 – Be Re-molded
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2
Recommended Reading: 1 John 2:15
If you have ever stepped—barefooted—on your child’s LEGO® brick in the middle of the night, you have the Hyatt brothers to thank. In 1872, these American inventors created the first injection molding process whereby raw material, like plastic, is squeezed into a mold and hardened.
Molding: making malleable materials conform to a desired shape. It can happen not only with physical material like plastic but with spiritual material like us! It’s why, when British Bible translator J. B. Phillips translated Romans 12:2, he put it this way: “Do not let the world around you squeeze you into its own mould.” The defense against being molded into the world’s image? The renewing of the mind. Again, J. B. Phillips: “But let God re-mould your minds from within..” The result of being “re-moulded”? Discovering the “good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”.”
Before coming to Christ, our minds are molded to the shape of this world. The renewing of our mind into a Christlike mind is the doorway to knowing God’s will for a lifetime.
