Do not model you behaviour on the contemporary world, but let the renewing of your minds transform you, so that you may discern for yourselves what is the will of God -- what is good and acceptable and mature.
- Romans 12:2
This passage struck me as a call to reject certain worldly ways, and focus on the growth and renewal found in prayer and following in the example of Christ. Through this persistence in imitating Christ and not the World the will of God will become more clear and easier to discern. In doing so in faith trust, and hope the LOrd will inspire us with his good, acceptable and mature plan for our lives.
Further on in this chapter St. Paul outlines ways in which to imitate Christ. (Romans 12: 6 - 21)
