Have you ever looked at all the patterns we see around us? I have written in another post about the Fibonacci patterns we see in the universe. You find them not only in living organisms, but in croissants and anything that is coiled upon itself.

When you think about it, God is a God of numbers—he loves numbers. Think of the numbers in the Bible. We are always running into numbers when we read his Word. Numbers like three, seven, 40 days, 40 nights, 50 years of jubilee. He tells us that the hairs on our head are numbered. He says that we can count the number of our days.

Numbers are indeed important. Numbers like your LDL, your waistline, and your blood pressure—these are numbers we live by that measure the quality of our health.

I didn’t know until recently that some really smart mathematicians can quantify the shape of a butterfly as parabolic curves. Imagine that! One of God’s most beautiful creations boils down to a mathematic formula.

I think that the astounding amount of order, geometry, and diversity in the universe speaks to a God of vast and unfathomable richness. I would encourage you to find the numbers and encourage us all to look at the numbers he is using in our lives today.
