Prove It

An often quoted, but not completely understood verse is (Rom 12:2) "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, THAT YOU MAY PROVE what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." They emphasize the necessity for a renewed mind, but not the why. And that is so that we might recognize, submit to, prioritize and maintain a life that lives as much as possible, in the perfect will of God. Nowhere in the word of God does it tell you to search for his will in your individual life, it will find you. He will reveal it in a variety of ways, looking to see if you will take the time to stop and prioritize your burning bush, take off your shoes in reverence and submit to his revealed will. I have never met a person who regretted investing their lives in the will of God than spending it upon themselves.
