Order My Steps in Your Word

1 Timothy 3:5 English Standard Version (ESV)

5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?

*While reading today, God spoke to me on how His people have no order. They are constantly looking to edify someone else, or tell them what needs to be fixed, but their household is in disarray. This is often due to disobedience. Perhaps you are not waiting on God long enough for your manifestation, you do not listen to Him when He tells you to do something, you are 'doing what you have to do' rather then what you are told to do; or it can be something as simple as your organizational skills are a mess. Either way, God may be waiting on you to develop more order in your life before He can take you to the next level.

God is a God of order, and not the author of confusion (Numbers 23:19). Therefore, sometimes it takes tweeking things in your current situation to receive the full manifestation of balance. For example, in Matt. 22:36-40, it talks about the greatest commandment being love. If we don't have love, we have nothing. Therefore, lack of order in your lifestyles can be due to your inability to truly act on loving God to the fullest and loving your neighbor as yourself. That is a lot of true love regardless to what a person does, what your flesh believes, or how long God takes we must walk in and REMAIN handling each other with love. Let's challenge ourselves to go deeper in our efforts to seek order, and order our steps in God's word. It is not all about what is said, but how your beliefs are consistently shown with order.
