God’s Order

Proverbs 24: 27

“Prepare your work outside, get everything ready for you in the field; and after that build your house.”

In God’s creation there is an order and balance to all things.  There is an order to all nature that governs the stars, the planets, the moon, the wind, the sun and the rain.  There is an order to life, from the most simple to the most complex life forms.  

Just as God ordered the universe, our lives are to reflect God’s order in our material and spiritual lives.  

A life of spiritual order for a Christian means that we seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all things;  that love, mercy, kindness and forgiveness imbue everything we do; and that love is our primary motivation.

For Christians, the hope is that the work we do outside will be a reflection of the work of the Holy Spirit on the inside.  

May the love of Christ be with you,

Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
