Power in the Blood – Change Our Thinking

By Testing You Will Know

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.  Romans 12:1-2

Ha! LOL!  Do you see it in there! As I read God’s Word to seek strength in managing this Diabetes, I find wisdom right here in these verses that encourages “testing” an area in which I am very weak!  In our lives there will be times of testing in our Spiritual walk. Times that will come that challenge our commitment, reaffirm our faith, and reveals the magnitude of God’s love.

As I reflect on God’s Word concerning my health and managing this disease I am encouraged that “testing” will help me discern what is good, acceptable and perfect in order to present my body as that living sacrifice. If “testing” could help in this process it seems time I get with the program and develop a schedule of testing that allows me to know where my BGL are and adjust my eating and/or exercise accordingly and while I’m at it make a few attitude adjustments to stay motivated and persistent i.e. long suffering!
