God of Order and Peace (Nov 29)

For God is not a God of disorder, but a God of peace.
                                              1 Corinthians 14:33a NIV

Today's post turns our attention to two attributes of God; order and peace.  We have learned many attributes of God in the passages we have read over the past eleven  months, a few that come to mind are love, steadfast, creator, eternal, unchanging, strong, wise, author of salvation and our rock. 

We have read much of our God being a God of order.  Recall the creation story; there was an order, a progression from void to our world.  After God created the world, he rested.  He did not rest before he finished his work.  He gave Adam and Eve a place to live.  He provided them with the Garden of Eden. 

God also provides peace.  The peace that God provides is a peace that passes understanding.  The peace we receive from God is a peace that we are able to, through Christ, be acceptable to Him in spite of our sin, our waywardness, or our stiff necked nature. 

Consider that if your life is in disorder and does not hold peace; look to God for direction to order and peace.  Pray through the Spirit that God bless you with order and peace.  Prayers for Spiritual gifts like hope, unity, self control, love, and a deepening relationship with Him are the kind of prayers that are especially pleasing to God.

How often do you pray?

What kind of things do you pray for?

Just pray.


In Christ,

David P
