Order

While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22 ESV)

 

Order

 

I Have lived in many geographical locations, and I have noticed that while the seasons are sometimes not as pronounced in a particular place, seasons exist.  I have noticed that while seasons vary in intensity from year to year, seasons exist.  I have noticed that while some seasons are more pleasant, and some more profitable, and some more short, and some more long, seasons exist.


Because God desires His people to notice the orderliness that He produces in life.  Even when we see chaos, there is orderliness behind it.  Even when we see disruption, there is orderliness behind it.  Even when we might not comprehend God’s plan, there is orderliness behind it.

 

Because God loves His people.

 

Chaos breeds fear, order brings hope.  Chaos breeds worry, order brings peace.  Chaos breeds pain, order brings healing.

 

Christ came to earth to strengthen order… God’s people are scattered throughout the world to strengthen order… from the aftermath of the flood until tomorrow, God brings order.

 

Because He loves His people.
