Transformed by the Power of God

Do you truly believe that God can and will transform you? Are you willing to allow God to mold you as He desires?

Romans 8:29 “For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.”

We all know that one day when Christ returns for us, we will be transformed into our heavenly bodies. But in the mean time, He is shaping us day by day on this earth, so that we can mirror his image to a lost and dying world. “Who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” Philippians 3:21

God is the Potter and we are His clay. He shapes us as He wishes for His glory and we have no reason to ever question Him. “But who are you, O man, to talk back to God?”Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like this?” Romans 9:20. The sooner we decide to trust Him to finish the work he began in us from salvation, the sooner we become more supple in His hands, and glorify Him more with our actions. The world begins to see a willing servant whose only desire is to obey their master.

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect” Romans 12:2. By trusting and allowing the Potter (God) to willingly mold and shape us, we actually please Him. And while God tolerates us questioning and wrestle with God at times, nothing pleases God more than a willing and trusting heart that seeks to serve others in a Christ-like manner Romans 14:18. God simply wants us to have faith in His love for us and His faithfulness to finish the work He began in each of us at our birth. “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

We all make mistakes and fall short of God’s glory, “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard”. Romans 3:23 We must learn that we can always count on God to turn our mistakes into miracles for His glory, when we humble ourselves, pray and turn to Him from our wicked ways. “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land”. 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Lord, please draw us into more of Your love today. Lets us feel Your presence, Your forgiveness, Your love and Your Hope. Keep us from evil discouragement, depression and our pride. Keep us humble and close to You. Thank You for our faithfulness and how much You love and care for us.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen

Have another powerful and prosperous day of trusting God’s faithfulness to transform us in the workplace and at home!
