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 NLT 

In all areas of our lives, it can be easy to compare what we have or don’t have with what the world tells us is important. When we measure our lives against what we see our friends doing or the things we see on social media, we can feel like we’re coming up short. If we don’t have what they have or do what they do, we must be missing out, right? Wrong! Here, Paul, the writer of this verse, gives us a new way to think about our lives. Instead of trying to live like others, we can instead live for God. 

We can trust that God’s plan for our lives is better than anything we’d compare it to. Think about this for a minute today and find peace in that truth!
