Day 28: Ordered Disorder


ORDER~

Everything in its place.

DISORDER~

You can't find anything,

ORDER~

Your PLAN.

DISORDER~

Not your PLAN.

ORDER REORDER~

GOD'S PLAN.

For GOD KNOWS HIS PLAN,

and that is to take

 ALL DISORDER

and

REORDER it

and

 use it for

THE GOOD

of those who LOVE HIM.

Does that sugar coat the DISORDER

that may be happening in your life?

Oh no.

For the DISORDER 

becomes the open door

of SURRENDERING

all the messy pieces.

But what makes the mess messier?

Oh when I try to force pieces to fit where they are not supposed to fit.

When I try to rush GOD. 

When I try to figure out what GOD is doing.

When I try to make sense of the senseless.

When I get impatient looking at all the messy pieces

and want the puzzle complete.

And when I get involved,

I add to the DISORDER.

I believe GOD just looks at me

and gracefully laughs as

HE tenderly

invites HIMSELF into the DISORDER

by

asking me to

SURRENDER all the pieces to HIM.

Why?

Because GOD is a GOD of ORDER.

And since I don't like putting together puzzles,

which I am not good at,

why not hand over ALL the pieces

to the ONE

REORDERS ALL THE DISORDER.

The sweet spot of SURRENDER

that brings ORDER into the DISORDER.

Ready. Get Set. Go.

LIVE in ORDER despite the DISORDER

and

"TRUST in the LORD with all your HEART, __________*(say your name)

and

Do not lean on your own understanding, __________.  In all your ways, __________, acknowledge HIM,    and HE will make straight your paths"

(Proverbs 35-6)

LIVE in ORDER despite the DISORDER

and

"Rejoice in hope, _________,

be patient in tribulation, _________,

be constant in prayer, _________, "

 (Roman 12:12).

LIVE in ORDER despite the DISORDER~

But one thing I, _________, do:

 Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,

 I, _________, press on toward the goal to win the prize for which

GOD has called me heavenward in CHRIST JESUS"

(Philippians 3:13-14).

Now stand back.

Look at ALL the puzzle pieces of your life

that just don't make sense,

that don't fit together like you want them to fit,

that look like DISORDER

and

SURRENDER~

"BE SILL and KNOW,

____________,

that I am

GOD"

(Psalm 46:10).

Why?

Because

GOD KNOWS!

Get Ready.

Get Set.

And

GO~

"ORDER, DISORDER, REORDER"
