Previously, on the Journey of Patience…

We talked about the power of Biblical principles-how they create structure, stability, and spiritual sanity in a chaotic world. These principles don’t just keep you upright, they help you walk in step with God and others.

Stop Imitating People with Publicists

Here’s the trap:

When you model your life after a celebrity, mentor, athlete, pastor, or insert religious influencer here, you’re not following truth, you’re chasing performance.

You start mirroring their behavior, their language, their brand of holiness. But what you see in public isn’t always what’s real in private.

And the result?

• Frustration.
• Disillusionment.
• A weird phase where you say “bless up” but don’t even pray.

If you build your life on someone else’s highlight reel, don’t be surprised when your life becomes a blooper compilation.

Follow Christ, Not a Costume

“Therefore be imitators of God as beloved children” Ephesians 5:1.

Until you take full responsibility for your walk with God, your life will continue to be gallopy: yes, that’s a real spiritual condition: unstable, jerky, all motion, no progress.

But when you model your life after Christ, not culture, not personalities, you don’t just survive crises, you master them.

Christ didn’t promise you’d avoid storms.

He promised you’d have peace in them.

And guess what’s required to maintain that peace?

• Patience.
• Self-control.
• Knowing who you are and whose you are.

To Be Continued…

In the final part of this series, we’ll explore specific Biblical principles you can apply daily to anchor your spirit, renew your mind, and stop living in spiritual autopilot.

Until then…

My Prayer For You

I stand with you against all the forces of evil that are taking advantage of your challenges. I command them to stop and go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ. I pray our Father to help you see where you’ve built your identity on unstable foundations. And that you’ll have the courage to choose Christ over culture, and develop the patience that reflects God’s nature.  In Jesus’ matchless. Amein.
