Romans Chapter 12 cont'd
Don't let the value system of fallen humanity mold or dictate your life or lifestyle. Rather, cooperate with God's agenda to transform you through the spiritual renewal of your thinking, so that you may be able to discern the will of God which is truly good, always acceptable and entirely perfect.

Or...as the NKJV puts it..."be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
Before I move on and make one more point about the renewing of our mind, I think it's important to point out that landing on God's will for our lives directly relates to our progressive personal transformation into the image of Christ. If we focus on becoming more like him, we will find ourselves "guided"...most often by a gentle and powerful invisible hand upon us. Most believers can testify, on the other side of a particular chapter of their lives, that they didn't realize how closely the Lord was guiding them until that season ended. And...how they came to know Jesus better through that life experience. Our job is to be the responsive sheep. His job is to be the Shepherd and...he does it very well!
