There is order to the universe.  There is gravity and erosion and molecular change throughout God’s creation,  placed in perfect balance, effect and process.  This order and our human desire toward averting or prohibiting chaos are reflections of the King who made us.  This order is reflected throughout the Bible.  His Word makes sense, even the perfect flowing design that effectively lays out the wonderment of God’s Plan for human kind.  There is one place where this order is so clear that even the blind may see evidence of God’s reflection.  We have but to look to the two commandments that Lord Jesus told us which all the law and the prophets depend, both regarding “love”.  As with any other idea created by the Lord this rests on orderly principles for understanding.

Lord please allow me to say this in a manner that is both correct and appropriate for describing Your intention.  We must first Love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, a love reserved for no one or no thing else.  Through our understanding of just how much God loves us especially/even when we were lost, broken, shaken, alone and wicked we begin to grasp the concept of unconditional love.  From this point we move to a similar understanding of self worth, based now entirely on the fact that if God loved us at our worst then we are in fact “worth” loving.  Learning at this point to love ourselves, because it feels good to be of value, a value that has been entirely established by God’s view of our worth, we start to understanding “how each of us wants to be loved”.  Having a solid grasp of this idea we can now see our way toward loving other people in such a manner, thus loving them as “we ourselves wish to be loved”.

All God’s teaching, demonstrates this same order and patience in “studying to show ourselves approved”  or “rightly dividing the Word of God”.  First we must read or hear a concept, spoken in God’s Word, this is the primmer for “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God”.  From that point it is entirely orderly to request more from God and seek answers, as is the nature of Kings, Proverbs.  It is orderly to hear a thing, study a thing, determine and choose to believe a thing and then take actions in life based upon that established belief.  We cannot believe what we first have not known.   Now as with Peter, there are orderly exceptions, faith in God may make us privy to ideas beyond our realm or station, but this is the orderly process of God in His reward of true faith.  If you seek Him You will find Him.  You cannot get more orderly, straight forward or simplistic than that.  Think on it, simple if-then statements are the most orderly formulaic concepts available in this world, if this then that.

I do not seek to serve God because I am odd, strange or simply hopeful of a different reality/universe.  I serve and love God because He loved me enough to leave me direction, providing order even where there is chaos.  Because of my relationship with God I am able to have PEACE in the midst of circumstances beyond any human control.  God gives me a semblance of His order to dissolve the frantic and fearful parameters of circumstance, taking my fear and replacing it with courage and victorious understanding.  Following Christ makes sense.  No amount of scientific pontification, charismatic oral presentation or repeated media implication/indoctrination will reduce the impact of God’s Orderly presence in the life of each Christian.  The enemy has been defeated in our lives, we have nothing to fear, even death has no hold upon our imminent future.  We have been sent free for eternity, and you know what that makes a whole lot of sense to me.  Choose Christ, choose order, receive life, forgiveness and freedom, a gift from the God of Order, Almighty God maker of both Heaven and Earth.  The one God, God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, holder of Truth, Justice, Righteousness and Faith.  In Jesus’ Holy Name.
