Day 2: Transformation Over Modification
Reading: Romans 12:1-2; James 1:21-25
Devotional: Behavior modification attempts to change actions without changing the heart. It's like painting over rust—temporarily attractive but fundamentally unchanged. God doesn't want surface adjustments; He desires spiritual transformation through the renewing of your mind. The Word of God is living and active, sharper than any sword, able to divide between soul and spirit, exposing what must be removed and what must remain. True change begins internally when you submit to God and accept His Word into your heart. Only then do behaviors naturally align with your transformed identity. Stop trying to fix yourself through willpower alone. Instead, saturate your mind with Scripture, allowing the Holy Spirit to transform you from the inside out. Heart change produces lasting behavior change.
