Have them make a sanctuary for Me, and I will dwell among them. Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you.
Exodus:25:8-9 NIV
There is nothing that God does or builds that is random. Everything that He does and creates is according to a plan and a pattern.
Scientists have discovered that there are patterns in the universe that show up in everything from stars to human cells.
One of the greatest examples of this is the patterns found within the human DNA. Within the strands of our DNA there are encoded patterns, which not only determine our unique identity, but are keys to understanding how the human body works.
In 1990 genetic scientists started mapping the patterns of DNA and they found that in these patterns, encoded in the human DNA, were keys to finding cures for disease.
From what they learned in these patterns, they were able to create medicine and vaccines based on these DNA patterns.
The patterns were the key to the cure.
Finding the patterns within creation has been the key to breakthroughs in every area of science and mathematics.
In the same way finding the patterns within God’s word, and applying them to our lives is the key to breakthrough in every area of our lives.
We can clearly see in the Bible that whenever God’s people followed these patterns they flourished. They flourished because, within those patterns are found life giving principles.
God said to Moses, “build the tabernacle exactly like the pattern I gave you and you will experience My presence in your midst”
So when we build according to God’s pattern, we experience His presence, power and provision in every area of our lives.
God gave the Israelites instructions on how they should plant and harvest their fruit trees, giving the entire crop of the fourth year to the Lord. He said, “if you follow this pattern your harvest will increase.” Leviticus 19:25
If we follow God’s pattern we will experience supernatural fruitfulness.
God’s word is filled with patterns that bring order and blessing to those who find them and make them the pattern of their lives.
The level to which we live by God’s pattern, instead of personal preference, comfort or convenience will be the level to which we know God’s order and blessing in our lives.
Let’s be diligent to build in faith, exactly according to God’s pattern, and let’s see what God will do!
