This world is full of patterns. They are on the skin and fur
of animals, surface of the earth and seas, and sky above us. We can also find
patterns inside the science, languages, music and art. They are also on people’s
mind and behavior.

People who love patterns wear them on the fabrics of their
clothes, or even ink them on their skins. Tattoos and Henna, anyone?
Patterns are the repetition of a design. We, humans, also
think in patterns.
The Bible said, “Do not conform to the patterns of this
world. Instead be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be
able to test and approve of God’s will for you. His good, pleasing and perfect
will.” (Rome 12:2)
Many patterns of this world are different from God’s designs
or God’s pattern. For example; God did not design cannibalism. But it happens in
animal or even human behavior. God did not design sex before marriage. It is
considered as normal these days. God did not design people to be workaholic.
People do it to achieve their goals. God designed people to sleep and rest.
Reality is people take caffeine
to keep going like energizer bunny.
Are you aware of the patterns that you follow in your life?
Are
those patterns in agreement with God’s principles?
