"Stoping the Chaos" and Prague News...

Last week we established that God is the ultimate Authority and is Sovereign over all. We also saw that He is Creator and Maker. Today, we are going to see that He is also a God of order. Where there is order there is lack of chaos!

For those of you who don’t know me very well, I absolutely love the first three chapters of the Bible: Genesis chapters 1, 2, and 3. I believe that everything goes back to that section of God’s Word. It is an incredible thing to look at! God established His identity as Sovereign and as Triune God, His establishment of order regarding the universe; and He introduced the cast list for this play called life: God, Man (meaning others and myself), and the enemy. Sin enters the world and the consequences of sin are revealed physically, emotionally and spiritually, and it separates us from God. Man is sent out of the garden, and the Bible unfolds the greatest love story ever told. Incredible!!!

Now back to God being a God of order. Here is something interesting to understand today: Where there is order there is provision. So, at your convenience, indulge in a good reading of Genesis chapters 1 – 2 today. You will see that God is a God of order and provision. In fact, you will see that God never created or made anything until He had made provision for what He would create which resulted in order! Example: God didn’t create or make fish or water creatures before there was water. He didn’t bring cattle or animals into the world before there was vegetation, oxygen, and water. Are you getting this? There was order to creation, and with that, there was provision. Now everything was moving along just fine until Adam and Eve decided to do life their way instead of God’s way.

Last week I left you with the question of your willingness to sit under God’s authority.

This requires a personal relationship with Him. Some are deceived into thinking they sit under His authority without a personal relationship. This is not God’s order. This is called religion. Settling this issue will determine if your house is ordered by love or dictatorship as we continue our journey together.

Your question for this week: In the order of creation, Adam was created first then Eve. Why? What is the significance of this order?

Prague . . . Answered prayers!

Praise God our team has come together! Our location is just short of being locked in! We are hoping to open up registration to all the missionary women by the end of this week, but next week for sure. So to all of you missionary women out there ‘paying it forward’, let your friends in the Central Europe area know we are headed their way.

Thank you for your prayers for the Prague trip now and going forward!
