God of Order

March 13, 2013

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust . . .
–Psalm 18:2

The trouble with our modern thinking is that we have a conception that God is a haphazard God with no set rules of life and salvation. Ask the astronomer if God is a haphazard God. He will tell you that every star moves with precision in its celestial path. Ask the scientist if God is a haphazard God. He will tell you that His formulas and equations are fixed, and that to ignore the laws of science would be a fool’s folly. If the laws in the material realm are so fixed and exact, is it reasonable that God could afford to be haphazard in the spiritual realm, where eternal destinies of souls are at stake? Just as God has equations and rules in the material realm, God has equations and rules in the spiritual.

Prayer for the day

Thank You, God, for Your absolute divine order. Amid confusion, it brings me hope and perfect peace.

We wake up each day thinking we know what lies ahead. In reality we have know idea what may occur. The good news is, God is in complete control and his plan for our life is on track. Take great comfort in this promise.
