Patterns

Ordered and created by God Himself,
all of creation demonstrates His genius designs.
From straight lines and symmetry
to bringing order to chaos and randomness,
His thoughts inspire a universe full of variety.
Some things beautiful and peaceful,
while others powerful and even dangerous.

Even language and words are filled with patterns:
accents, syllables, spelling, rhythms, and cadence.
As language was confused at Babel,
yet order came to each tongue —
unique sounds and communication to each tribe.
All of these patterns of speech now directed back
to praise Him who embodies the Word.

He was at the very beginning declaring, “Let there be,” to what was unseen and did not yet exist.
