“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.” – Romans 12:2 (ESV)

The spirit of innovation lies in the quest for improvement, the belief that there is always a better way. Thomas Edison’s quote reminds us that settling is not an option when we’re called to excellence. God gave us minds to think creatively and hearts to seek out ways to improve and serve others better. Finding a better way requires a willingness to let go of complacency, to learn continuously, and to stay open to God’s leading.

Renewing our minds, as Paul wrote in Romans, enables us to think beyond what is, to envision what could be. By seeking improvement in our work and lives, we honor God with our best.
