2	9/6	1 Pet 1:13-21 (key: 18-19)	1 Peter 1:14–15 (ESV) — 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,	We are not to be conformed to the passions of our former ignorance--that is when we were stupid because we did not know God. We essentially live in stupidity, much like the world today.	Rom 12 talks about the same things. In fact the key to not be conformed is to be transformed be the renewal of your mind. That happens when we soak up the word of God through REGULAR time in it and allow it to change us.	Father, I have not been as disciplined in my reading time of scripture. I read it each day for devotions and study it during the week, but I am missing the simple reading where I see the big picture. Give me ideas how I can develop better habits of reading your word before I fall off to sleep.
