Copycats

Stray twins from a spring litter 2012 

I feel like it's so easy to fall into a pattern of believing life should be a certain way because it has been a custom of our own little world; of our generation; of our society.  We look at this in the physical sense most of the time (looks, tastes, feels), but what about the spiritual?  What about our thoughts?

Often, I've found, I've justified something or classified it as a character trait of God because of the way society tells me God is (or should be).  May I be a person that seeks truth above standards and that seeks to honor God above doing something simply because it's the custom.  

And may I also be a person humble enough to accept the customary when I find it to actually be an honor to God.

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)
