Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Years ago I was struck by a comment made by a sister in Christ that God’s will might not be just one thing. It reminded me of a previous encounter with a dedicated follower who had said he was passing up an opportunity in favor of waiting on God’s perfect will. Both had a vision of God’s will in their lives as being fluid, changing, building up like a wave headed for shore..

I had that thought trapped in my mind until this morning as I lay awake at 2 a.m. trying to get back to sleep. I’ve made two tries now in a work that is due October 2^nd. I am still not satisfied, it isn’t perfect. As I said those words to myself I saw the connective passage that lead my brother and sister in Christ to focus on God’s will and see it as shifting. The answer was there all the time.

I am transformed. I no longer settle for good. I no longer settle for acceptable. I now strive for perfect. God’s will has not changed, I have. When we strive to seek God’s will in our lives we often focus so strongly on the will, that we might know it and walk in it, that we lose focus on the proof.

Have I settled for good enough? Has my seeking been superficial, skimming of His Word and not letting it sink into my mind? Have I seen myself as accepted and settled on the praise of men as having found His will? Or have I allowed the Word to transform me to a point where nothing less than God being glorified is satisfying?

God’s will does not change, we do.
