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

In today's world of continuing education, online classes are offered where the student can gain a degree from the comfort of his/her home. What's hard for me to comprehend how a student studying chemistry can have a lab class online? There's nothing like learning in an environment in which you study, handling the test tubes, mixing chemicals, and viewing things under a microscope. You can't gain a true understanding by simply reading online. 

The same is true for people who are seeking God's will for their life. Today's verse provides guidance on how to comprehend His perfect will. The first part says to have your mind transformed. God's will usually never aligns with worldly logic, and when you seek out His wisdom with a worldly view it will seem like a foreign language, it just won't make sense. Example: God many times calls people to the mission field who have no experience, limited funds, and a lot of ties to their family at home. A person with a worldly mindset might dismiss this thought. 

Having a spiritual mindset puts you in God's lab of faith, you are able to see the vision, you have the confidence in God's ability to make a way to get you to the mission field, and you will experience God's blessings when you surrender your life to His calling. 

How do you then transform your mind? Reading God's word, staying fervent in prayer, and listening for God's wisdom and direction. When you do these things, God's will becomes more clear and you'll fall in line with everything you need to fulfill your purpose in this life.
