Part 2: Embracing the Divine Patterns of Life

November 4

In the realm of existence, patterns reign supreme. They are the silent orchestrators of life's symphony, guiding every facet of our journey. From the dawn of creation to the present day, patterns have been the foundation upon which our world is built. In this second part, we will delve deeper into the divine patterns of life, finding solace and purpose in the embrace of the ultimate pattern-maker, God. As we immerse ourselves in the intricate tapestry of life, it becomes evident that patterns exist in abundance, surrounding us on all sides. The rising and setting of the sun, the changing of seasons, and the inexorable passage of time all serve as tangible reminders of the divine pattern that governs our world. These patterns are an intrinsic part of who we are, woven into the very fabric of our existence.

However, among all the patterns that define our lives, there is one that surpasses all others in its significance: receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and then engaging with Him through the spiritual disciplines on a continual bases. These practices, which include reading, meditating, and studying the Word of God, as well as praying in our known language and prayer language, offering thanksgiving, praise, and worship to God, as well as sharing are faith with others hold the key to aligning with our true purpose and potential. By incorporating these spiritual disciplines into our daily lives, we establish a profound connection with the divine pattern-maker, God. In doing so, we unlock the hidden potential that lies within us, dormant until we choose to draw near to Him. These spiritual patterns are not mere routines; they are the sacred rhythms of life that resonate with the very core of our being.

It has been said that "words are the building blocks of life," and while there is some truth in that statement, the ultimate building block of life is the Word of God itself. In the person of Jesus Christ, the Word became flesh, and through Him, all things were created and continue to exist. The Word of God is the divine blueprint that shapes our very existence, and it is in God, particularly in Jesus Christ, that we find the perfect pattern for our lives. In the book of Genesis, we are reminded that humanity was created in the image of God, reflecting His divine pattern (Genesis 1:27). To tap into the right pattern for our lives, we need not look far; we find it in God Himself. As we align with His patterns, we discover our true purpose, our identity, and the roadmap to fulfillment. The divine patterns established by God before our very conception beckon us to become who we were meant to be.

In conclusion, patterns are not mere abstractions or mathematical constructs; they are the very essence of life. Whether observed in the natural world or found within the pages of the Bible, patterns define our existence. By embracing the spiritual disciplines that connect us with the divine pattern-maker, we draw closer to our true purpose and identity. In the Word of God, we find the ultimate pattern of life, and in God Himself, we discover the blueprint for our existence. It is in this alignment with the divine patterns that we truly become who we were meant to be.
