"Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.
I have been feeling out of order, ya know, like when you think you should be doing things and you are not, or you wish you would do things you don't. I keep thinking, 'If I could just get my life in order....' Then the Lord spoke to me about what He thinks, when I inquired of Him, 'Tell me the truth about how You see me, Jesus.'
He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me. Psalms 18:19 NLT
Open rebuke is better Than love carefully concealed. Proverbs 27:5
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. Psalms 37:23 NKJ
Father God made if very clear to me, first of all that He loves me, even in my weakness. He reminded me that He had pulled from the pit, saved me because He delighted in me. He has an orderly plan for my life, for good, and He is faithful to complete it. He will shower me with love, even while He points out useless and harmful actions I participate in. His plans are detailed, and as I look to Him, my steps are ordered by God.
When I was living the life according to the rules of the world, I used to wear two different colored socks every day. If you looked in my drawer you probably couldn't find a matching pair. My boss called me 'two-socks', and my life reflected this fashion statement. There was little order in my days, I would jump at the first opportunity to for 'fun' or 'trouble', and planning for the future was not on my priority list. Whatever I would see first that was which sock I would put on, which party I would go to.
The Lord reminded me of this, not that wearing two socks is a sin, but that He had already been ordering my steps. Some time shortly after I began following the way of Lord I naturally began wearing matching socks again, and now all my socks match. I didn't make a decision to do this, it just happened. God spoke to me that He will bring my life into order with His will, as I stay faithful to follow His Word. God delights in leading me after His Son Jesus, and giving me success. The enemy may try to confuse me, telling lies that I am not on the path of righteousness, but the Lord will not let my feet stumble. Thank You God for ordering my steps, leading and guiding me. Thank you for the gift of faith, and increase my endurance to keep my eyes on You, and not my situations. Give me the strength to change what I need to, because I long to love You more, and be wide open to Your perfect leadership. I love You Jesus! Thank You for salvation, confidence in love!
For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
1 Corinthians 14:33 NKJ
For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.
