00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:23.161 --> 00:00:28.152
Today is Day 65, transformation, reformation.

00:00:28.152 --> 00:00:39.066
From the book of Romans, chapter 5, verses 3 and 4, from the New Living Translation, we know that suffering produces perseverance.

00:00:39.066 --> 00:00:49.100
Perseverance, character and character, hope, perseverance, character and character, hope.

00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:56.353
Now, transformation involves several key components Information, formation, conforming and performing in line with God's will.

00:00:56.353 --> 00:01:06.054
But we've got to also remember the need for reformation, the transformation not just of individuals, but of societies and institutions.

00:01:06.054 --> 00:01:15.671
Our entire world, from families to governments, schools, businesses, even churches, need to be remade according to God's standards.

00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:23.513
The Protestant Reformation nearly 500 years ago was sparked by truths from Romans 5.

00:01:23.513 --> 00:01:29.046
When Martin Luther's heart was changed by God's Word, it didn't stop with him.

00:01:29.046 --> 00:01:33.871
An entire church was reformed to align with biblical principles.

00:01:33.871 --> 00:01:43.771
And this process of reformation has to continue in every generation as we reshape society according to God's Word.

00:01:43.771 --> 00:02:04.352
When reformation takes hold, it touches every sphere of life Spouses work together to create homes that reflect God's design, teachers become builders of characters, and doctors become true healers, business people become job creators and lawyers act as wise counselors.

00:02:04.352 --> 00:02:13.570
The transformation extends into every part of society, but sadly, today we see brokenness all around us.

00:02:13.570 --> 00:02:24.728
Courtrooms are marred by corruption, city streets are littered with trash, subways covered in graffiti, the inner city is plagued by violence.

00:02:24.728 --> 00:02:29.991
But even the ugliest parts of our world can be turned into something beautiful.

00:02:29.991 --> 00:02:39.230
God works within us to produce the character of Christ, empowering us to offer the hope of a transformed and reformed world.

00:02:39.230 --> 00:02:47.388
By His grace, reformation can still happen, changing lives and societies to reflect His glory.

00:02:47.388 --> 00:02:52.127
Won't you pray with me, lord Jesus?

00:02:52.127 --> 00:02:56.348
We pray for the reforming of our society according to the teaching of your Word.

00:02:56.348 --> 00:03:02.712
May each person we meet today see a picture of your kingdom in us, amen.

00:03:02.712 --> 00:03:09.882
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
