Elul Day 21 - Order

Elul Day 21 - Order

Today we examine the order — or disorder — with which we live our lives. Does order really matter?

Since we are created in the image of God, and He did everything in order, it absolutely does.

Some of us thrive in order. For example, I can't even prepare a meal if there are dishes on the counter. Maybe I take order too far, but I seem to do my best when things are in order.

Why Like Order?

• Time is used more efficiently when there is order.
• Life is made up of time, so an ordered life accomplishes more.
• Order makes room for peace.
• Order nurtures charity and love in our hearts.
• Order makes way for the growth of other virtues in our lives.
• Order affects our thoughts, attitudes, motivations, and desires.

1 Corinthians 14:40
'Let all things be done decently and in order.'

Proverbs 16:9
'A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps.'

Today: We plan for order in our lives, always asking the Lord to be the absolute director.
