Rom 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. KJV
Before time was even a measurement, God designed a magnificent plan for your life. Man is a “three-part” being. He has a spirit, a soul (your mind, will, and emotions) and he lives in a body. When you are born into the family of God, it is your spirit that is made alive unto God. The bible tells us that you are a new creation in Him. That is wonderful and mind boggling. But even though your spirit is a new creation, your soulish man is not and must be transformed by the renewing of your mind. We renew our minds by fellowshipping with our heavenly Father and meditating on His word. We train our thoughts to think on His word which is lovely, virtuous and of good report. Romans 12:2 says “be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” As we renew our mind, we can “prove” the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
That word prove in the Greek means discern. As we renew our minds we can discern the good (born again but no growth), the acceptable (His permissive will) and also the perfect will of God. May you set your sights on His perfect will by the renewing of the mind. May your hearts dance before Him in the grace and peace of His perfect will. Rejoice evermore!
