Rhythm and order

Rhythm and order. Discipline. With a pattern specifically laid out for God’s people in the Old Testament.

Daily. Weekly. Monthly. Annually. 

With sacrifices. Sacred assemblies. Festivals. 

Divinely-designed schedules. Reminding them to remember. And honor the Lord their God. 

As a people set apart for His glory.

Threads

Colorful skeins of thread surround him. And neutral strings on the loom show no pattern to follow. As far as I can see. 

But the old carpet maker knows. 

Thread by thread. Hour by hour. Day by day. 

He works the loom, creating a rich pattern. A map of threads he already had in mind when he started.

All we cannot see

The new year approaches.
And we’re looking sideways at the year that was. 

2020.
Planned calendar undone.
Change unexpected.
Grief unwanted.

Up close and personal reminders
of all we do not know. 
All we cannot see.
