For God is not a God of disorder but of peace-as in all congregations of the Lord’s people. I Corinthians 14:33
This verse was revolutionary in my walk toward Christian maturity. Life at it’s finest is still very overwhelming and our natural responses to this state are not good: anger, bitterness, discouragement, despair to name just a few. These responses also lead to actions that fail us in productivity whether it’s in our work or in our relationships. Does this sound like a play date with the devil? It always was for me UNTIL a wise older woman said, “Honey, don’t you know God doesn’t wish all this chaos on us, He is a God of Order and Peace, take His Peace!! Sometimes I have to do a complete houseclean of my activities, schedules, ambitions and expectations to restore Godly order. Sometimes I just have to rearrange my spiritual furniture to make paths of movement more efficient and comfy. Whatever needs to be done, only you and God will know, but HE IS PEACE. He is the architect of peace and order. He wove the universe together and while doing so He gave each creature in that universe the gift of unique individualality. Ask, listen and receive from Him today. He’s certainly up to the challenge. Have a blessed day. Gretchen
