Satan aims to derail our thinking with unruly and ungodly thoughts. Hence Paul’s challenge from Romans 12:2: “Don’t let the world around you squeeze you into its own mold.” By the power of Jesus, you can avoid being conformed and, instead, be “transformed by the renewal of your mind.”
What a choice word! The process of turning a caterpillar into a butterfly is called metamorphosis. God promises you a metamorphosis…an even greater transformation.
Are you stuck in your head? Are you ticked off at the world? Are you on edge like DEFCON I? There is hope! The thoughts that have characterized your past need not characterize the rest of your life. God will move you from worm to butterfly. He will transform you by the renewal of your mind.
