For the Faithful
Orderliness
Structuring my environment and routines to help me think clearly and follow through on what matters
Our current faith‑based resources are written from a Christian perspective, but we know that many other faith traditions also nurture strong character, and we want to honor and uplift that diversity.
We are actively seeking contributors from additional faith traditions who would like to help us expand this section. If you are interested, we would be grateful to partner with you.
Orderliness helps believers create spaces and rhythms that honor God.
When we organize our time, responsibilities, and ministries, we serve with clarity and peace. Orderliness supports a community where people can grow and worship without distraction.
Essay
A God of Order
by Jill Tomey
Our God is a God of Order. The second verse in Creation story tells us that “The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep.” Out of this chaos, God created an order to the Universe. He separated light from darkness, the heavens from the earth, and water from dry land. He made the animals in the waters, on the land and in the air. He made man to tend the beautiful world he created. In all the time since Creation, the sun has been rising every day, just as He ordered it.
God will create order out of our chaotic lives, if we get out of his way and let him. If we open our hearts to God’s Word, it can bring a beautiful and peaceful order to our life. He can order the chaos in our lives the way he eliminated chaos in the creation story. His faithfulness can replace our uncertainty. When we feel out of control, he can give us purpose and his Light can illuminate our darkest hours.
This month, let go of your chaos and embrace the order and peace that God offers us.
