There
are so many things that set themselves up to be red herrings in
our lives. Giving full attention to them rather than the voice and
promises of God only assure us of chaos. Such distractions have
the potential to take us over the edge and keep us from enduring
necessary trials and pursuing godliness. But God, Who is our peace
and order, has equipped His chosen people to triumph in all of life's
circumstances by way of peace and order.
His peace
is perfect and surpasses all understanding. And although his order
is unlike our way of doing anything, it is sure and excellent. As
we are guarded by the peace and order of God, our minds are kept,
faith strengthened, character developed, and much more. These godly
traits prevent us from being a part of everything and everything
being a part of us. Little wonder why anxiety, fear, torment, escapism,
denial, lunacy, withdrawal, issues and other agents of darkness
flee when we attack them with these weapons.
Now let
this word be a turning point in your life. Choose today to allow
the power of God's peace and order to prevail over that which is
designed to predominate you. Destroy the confusion in and around
you today by taking God at His word, "For He (Who is the source
of their prophesying) is not a God of confusion and disorder but
of peace and order..., I Cor. 14:33.
