God Of Hope – Inner Nature
Hope of His Glory
Strengthening the Innerman
Some of us are a little faint hearted when we see how we fall short
of His Glory because He is a Holy God.
Also the stresses and afflictions of this present age can weigh us down too.
The following are several scriptures I have placed together from
different translations to bring out the richness because no English
translation can bring out the fullness of the original Greek.
You may call this a simple study and soak!
Seek The Lord’s presence as you read, for revelation.
And if you are not up to that for some reason – let these scriptures bring you
Into a soft touch of His Presence. He Loves You today.
Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.
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.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
