Romans 12:2 (KJV) 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.
In life we set goals of what we want to achieve. What we want to do. Where we want to be. Our career, our business, and a whole lot of pursuits. Infact what we want to become. In all these things it is important for us to find out what the will of God is concerning anything we want to do. As God’s children before we embark on any pursuit we should first of all enquire from God and find out what His Will is concerning what we want to do. And for us to know what His Will is we must not be conformed to this world.
What does it mean to be conformed to this world? It means to be so much interested in your plans, your career, business, current trends, what people say, etc to the point that you pay little or no attention to what God is saying about any of these things. From Romans 12:2 we can understand that it is only when we are not conformed to this world that we will be able to prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect Will of God.
For instance David in 1 Samuel 30:8-19 paid attention to the Will of God by enquiring from God and God gave him victory. On another occasion in 2 Samuel 5:23-25 David did not go ahead to do what he knew from the instructions God gave him during the challenge he had in 1 Samuel 30:8-19 but he still enquired again from God and God gave him another strategy that suits the current challenge which also led to victory.
Knowing what the Will of God is and working accordingly will always produce a perfect result. Therefore beloved, always enquire of God to prove His Will and align yourself with it.
Prayer: 🙏Dear heavenly Father give me the grace to prove your Will and align myself to it, in Jesus name. Amen.
