The rhythms of nature are embedded within us -- Jesus is telling us that we naturally know some things. We see them occuring in the natural world, and we know what follows. What fits this for you? Maybe when you feel the first chill wind in the fall, you know the leaves will start turning, or when you see the crocus budding the first signs of spring, you know you'll see more wildlife out and about. Many of these things are ingrained into us -- we just know them.
So it should be, Jesus says, with our lives and Scripture. Do we know Scripture well enough that when we see things out in the world, we understand it spiritually because we've been learning from Scripture and know what it means? Are we immersing ourselves in the World of God so that we know and understand how the world points back to God and trains us to worship in the midst of everything we do? Are we constantly learning?
