Orderliness is by far the theme today. Everything I was involved in had something to do with communication, process, planning, execution, in ORDER to do this or that. Not in the every day way either! I'm so thankful for God's spirit. I could've easily gotten frustrated and discouraged. Instead confirmation after confirmation that it's time for ORDER excited me! Change and confrontation can be delicate but it's time. God's got me in a space to develop my sense for process, honesty, truth, and desire for fairness, for self-awareness and improvement and the need for clear communication to do great things. We blame. We make excuses. We take no responsibilty. We sit in a mess waiting for someone else to get it in order. We aren't proactive. We need to be told what to do. We are idle. It's like watching an accident and no one runs to help. No one calls 9-1-1 assuming someone else will. Or everyone runs to help crashing in to one another making a big mess and before you know it 10 EMT vans are onsite! Crazy! It's either not enough or too much! We are busy getting nothing accomplished that will truly effect long-term standings in our finances, on our jobs, in our relationships, ministries and many more areas of our lives. So many things stay out of order because everyone wants to cross the finish line without running the race. Athletes train for the race. Christians - be in the Word, get educated, apply what you learn to your life, seek God and be in communion with Him. Put on the Full Armor of God! We are more than Conquerors. Greater is He that lives within each one of us! Do this and get in order. The time is drawing near that He will come again. Get excited about that! There is nobody greater! Now get out there and build up His kingdom with the gifts He has blessed you with! GO LIVE! Live your life and don't be defeated!
Read Ephesians 6:10-17 (NIV) Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood... Open a Bible and take a moment to read the rest on your own. Meditate on what it means.
Be ready: with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit. Think about that. God lays it out for us in His Word. Put on the full Armor of God. No weapon formed will prosper against you! Know that the enemy will try and hold you back, will keep you from your success if you let it be so. Stay vigilant and chase after the Lord! Keep moving in His direction no matter what you may face. This way you may discover everything He has in store for your life.
