Patterns...





Patterns... shotgun spray on a target, football receiver's path, dressmakers tool, ripples on the lake, musical score, poetic rythm, petals of a flower, fingerprints, behaviors, thoughts...

Are all things subject to pattern?

Our pattern of thoughts drive our emotions...Our emotions drive our actions...

Are patterns meant to be followed or interrupted? I guess it depends on your pattern.

Romans 12:1-3
1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.


Recognizing your own pattern, maybe that's a stepping stone.  A path out of the wilderness...maybe, we'll see.


Blessings,


Beth
