Out Of Order

. . . the God of peace will be with you (Philippians 4:9d, NRS).

Good Morning!

We moved.
Then, we took Tim to school.
Now, we need to have a sign pinned to our clothing: “Out of order.”

I mean really, we intended to do all things in an orderly manner.

You would think we would be in order rather than out of order. Our first mistake came when we borrowed a small truck and moved little by little. My advice: just say no! Move all at once.

And, then, there is the whole college moving-thing. Moving our last child from a new place to college proved to be . . . well . . . disorderly.

So . . . there you have it—I am out of order.

That said, we know that God is a God of order. The Apostle Paul described a Christ follower's lifestyle. Individuals who engage their thoughts, words, and behavior in Christ find an orderly rhythm to life resulting in peace.

Ultimately, humanity is created to align their mind, heart, and soul with God--it is an orderly process--that occurs through daily surrender.

Evaluate your life. Are you out of order?
Surrender disorder to the orderly manner of thinking, speaking, and acting that God has outlined in His word.
Meditate on the peace received through living the way God has revealed through Christ Jesus.
Experience and enjoy the peace of God.


Learning with you to live in His orderly way,
Kerrie
