Orderly – Love it!!

1 Chronicles 29:11 King James Version (KJV)
11 Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.

The following came to me today via email and I was so impressed with it that I just had to share it with you.

Enjoy!!

God is Orderly

Our God is an Awesome God in the things we take for granted……………. Always the same timing in the little things.

For example:
-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
-those of the canary in 14 days;
-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
-The eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
-those of the mallard in 35 days;
-The eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, The number of days in a week!)

God’s wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant… The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction… No other quadruped is so made. Too large to live on two legs, God’s plan gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.

The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first.
A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first.
Each one has its way to do what it does.

Whatever the Lord makes is always very efficient.

He is a God of ORDER.

-Each watermelon has an even number of stripes on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
-Every bunch of bananas grows with an even number of bananas on the bottom row. Each row up decreases by one. The next row has an odd number and the next row an even number and so forth. It never varies.
-The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six waves to the minute, no matter if calm or stormy.

All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, just as the Lord specified: thirty-fold, sixty-fold, and a hundredfold! (Mark 4:20)

God has caused the flowers to blossom at specified times during the day. Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture, and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed!

If everything on this earth were analyzed in this way, we would SEE the Lord in it, every bit of it!

When we let our lives be ordered by Him, He can make ALL the things work out for us, things that we can’t. Wisdom prays and asks Him for help, to make our life “WORK”.

The One Who made our brain and heart is also able to successfully guide us to a profitable end.

May God Bless You In Ways You Never Even Dreamed of, Today, Tomorrow, and all the Tomorrows to Come!

ABBA, thank You for this information. Thank You that You are ORDERLY! HOLY SPIRIT, I pray these facts and figures will bring each reader to a place of awe of YOU O LORD. 

We have the God-given Right to do right in this wrong World,

Psalm 139 New Living Translation (NLT)

1 O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.

2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.

3 You see me when I travel and when I rest at home.  You know everything I do.

4 You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD.

5 You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!

7 I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.

9 If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

10 even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.

11 I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night—

12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.

13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14 Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.

15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.

16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book.  Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

17 How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!

18 I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand!  And when I wake up, you are still with me!

19 O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers!

20 They blaspheme you; your enemies misuse your name.

21 O LORD, shouldn’t I hate those who hate you?  Shouldn’t I despise those who oppose you?

22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred, for your enemies are my enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

via Ps 139 NLT – Psalm 139 – For the choir director A – Bible Gateway.

How comfortable are you with verse 1?  He knows EVERYTHING about you?

Verily verily (don’t you like that? Reminds me of JESUS. There are 25 verses in the KJV wherein He said it.) knowing He knows ALL about me means more to me than my frail vocabulary can tell. This Truth gives me comfort, peace, a reality of security that is unequaled.  I met a young woman once who said she did not like it that He knew it all and saw it all concerning her. I thought that was sad. What do you think?

And how about verse 10? Wherever I am, wherever you are, if we are His, He will guide us AND His strength will support us.  That just flat-out feels good, doesn’t it?

Verse 16 — how sad do you think He is when He records the brevity of lifespan for every aborted baby?

Oh, oh and verses 17 and 18 — He thinks about you and me so much that His thoughts of us cannot be numbered! They outnumber the grains of sand on all the world’s beaches and under all the world’s seas. You know if we would just allow the Holy Spirit to give life to this Scripture within us it would cure our insecurities and inferiority complexes. Don’t you think?

I’ll finish with verse 24 – Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.  YES! Bring on the Search Light, ABBA.  Look in every corner, crevice, every minute place and cause me to see and be offended at every thing You find that offends You.  Amen and amen.

And it occurs to me as I am about to put this to post that His Word is the Search Light and if I am really serious about wanting Him to point out my offenses, I will open myself and apply myself to searching His Word, reading it, meditating upon it, praying it back to Him, for myself and for you.

So! Which of these verses speak to you today?

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians. Breathe RED!
