“But all things should be done decently and in order.” — 1 Corinthians 14:40

God is not the author of chaos. In this verse Paul reminds the Corinthians that spiritual maturity isn’t just about passion or knowledge — it’s about order. When we walk with God, it shows up in how he orders his life: his words, his time, his leadership, and his home.

Order doesn’t mean control or perfection. It means being intentional. Chaos drains energy and clarity, but God’s order brings peace and strength. When our priorities are aligned with Him, we’re able to lead well, love well, and live with purpose.

I’ve always struggled with piling my clothes on the dresser instead of putting them away — but when I do put them in order, I feel so much better!

Think about it like this: a kitchen without order and full of clutter slows everything down. A kitchen with order feeds people well. In the same way, a man whose life is submitted to God’s order becomes a source of peace and nourishment to those around him.

Try This Today:

Choose one small area of your day — your space, your schedule, or your words — and bring it into intentional order as an act of worship.

Standing with you,
