Bible Reading:
Genesis 1:9-13,
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. (NIV)
Bible in one year: Numbers 20:10-22:21, Psalm

MESSAGE!!!
Many children of God
do not know the depth of the common saying, “Order is the first thing in
heaven”. They quote this statement awkwardly without giving it the necessary
importance it requires. In the real sense of it, orderliness is the nature of
divine administration. My prayer for someone using this devotional is that if
your life is disorganized, it shall be divinely fixed in Jesus’ name.
Our God is the God of
order; He ordered the course of the universe by His Word. This is the reason
why we must give the Word of God pre-eminence in our lives. The Lord said to
Jeremiah; “…. I will hasten my word to perform it.” (Jeremiah 1:12). The
Almighty God does not take His own Word with levity like some of us do. Bible
teachings come in form of doctrines and living by them is inevitable if we are
to live orderly. Jesus Christ said in John 7:17:
Disobedience to God’s
order brings chaos and unimaginable calamities as the story of Adam and Eve’s
fall reveals (Genesis 2:16-17, Genesis 3:9-19). I encourage the user of this
devotional to begin to place a high premium
on the Word of God, even as God
Himself does. In the second pastoral epistle of Paul to Timothy we read:
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in
righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto
all good works.”
2nd Timothy 3:16-17
On the third day, God
set in order the course of the universe by His Word and things began to work,
even till this day; the seas in their places, the dry land, a variety of
vegetation and fruit bearing plants.
Our God is the God of
both creation and provision: He creates to provide. This means lack was not
originally planned to characterize the life of man. I pray that everything that
you need shall be orderly provided for your pleasure this season in Jesus’
name. However, pay close attention to the Words of the Great Provider.
Prayer Point
Father, please set my life in order, and don’t
allow me to do things against Your will.
