CONFORMING TO THE TRUTH

Whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
ROMANS 8:29 NKJV

God wants to conform each of His children to the likeness of His image. He does this by revealing Himself through His word. As we are confronted with the truth about His character, we have a choice: refuse to adapt to God’s mold, or yield to Him and be fashioned into His likeness. But as we accept His Lordship, submit to Him, and apply His Word to our lives, He liberates us and reveals His glory through us.

Friend, you are called to listen to the Father in order to comprehend His ways and be shaped and conformed to His truth. God doesn’t speak just to entertain you; He communicates so you can be more like Jesus.

So today, consider, are you resisting being conformed by God, or are you being shaped and molded by His truth? Commit yourself not to merely hearing His Word but to obeying it. Do not simply allow Scripture to enter your eyes, but take hold of it so it will rule your heart.

Lord, teach me to hear and embrace Your Word so that I may be fashioned to Your likeness, amen.

In His presence… conform to His truth.
