The biblical meaning of pattern is to imitate a behavior over and over. It’s a set way of operating and establishing an attitude of repetition. What pattern does your life repeat?
Are there patterns of this world that draw you in? Dabbling with God on Sunday mornings and dabbling in worldly views during the rest of the week is not the commitment God is looking for in us. We are to step up, stand out, and stay true to Holy standards, not the world’s.
Holy wants us all in with Jesus every day. Otherwise, the patterns we establish in our lives are oppositional. We, then, stay stuck in the same old ways. This is not the life God designed for us.
Moving through life in God’s ways with dedicated purpose is sustaining, renewing, and uplifting in the midst of this world’s corruption, evil intentions, and chaos.
If we move with the world, the strong current will take us further and further away from God, and we end up just circling the drain with the rest. This is the hardest pattern to break. The pattern of this world as this generation knows it is completely selfish. We must guard against it every day.
The pattern of God is constantly transforming us within to overcome the evil onslaught of each day. It is a daily battle in which we must stay armed with the Word and in Prayer with determined commitment. This is the pattern to follow.
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12: 2
Today is the day to say, “No more turning a blind eye, following the masses, and conforming to standards you do not believe in.” God can change your behavior, attitude, mind, and direction. Step forward in faith and swim against the seductive current of a world gone crazy. Ask Jesus to show you how.
It is time to be transformed.
