The Unity of Nature.
In Proverbs Chapter 8:14-30 we see the remarkable personification of the eternal Son of God, it speaks of the Co-equality and Co-existent with God,
it speaks of a timeless beginning.
Notice the verse from 27
“I was there”
Not only do we see the unity of the Godhead seen in the Son with the Father, but also in nature we see the same wonderful unity
Let us for a moment go back to Genesis one. Where it says in the beginning. This same word of majesty, the word of the plural "Let us"
When we look at nature see amazing individuality each species separate and yet part of Gods great plan notice the plants each different, showing different attributes, we see the wonder of Spring with its own set of plants coming into life, then so sooner has Spring ended and Summer blossoms into view, then Autumn, plants are already preparing themselves to blossom into Spring again.
And yet amidst all this natural variety and diversity there is a marvellous unity. Every part of the universe interlocks by subtle and delicate links with every other part. You cannot disturb the balance anywhere without sending a shock disturbance through the whole system.
This delicate balance lies at the heart of each of nature's inhabitants. From flower, to tree, to plant, to universe, the stars, the planets, the moons and so on all interlinked and dependent upon each other.
As you penetrate into Nature's heart, you meet God "of Him and Through Him, and to Him, are all things. The unity that encompasses it all, is a result of it being affected by one hand- the mind and hand of God.
Notice also when man Sinned in the Garden of Eden this delicate balance was disturbed Gen. 3:17. "Cursed is the ground because of you"
We read in Roman's Ch8 v21-22 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

(Proverbs 8:27-30)
I was there when he established the heavens,
when he drew the horizon on the oceans.
I was there when he set the clouds above,
when he established springs deep in the earth.
I was there when he set the limits of the seas,
so they would not spread beyond their boundaries.
And when he marked off the earth’s foundations,
I was the architect at his side.
I was his constant delight,
