In Order

 Disorderly M & M cookie

"But be sure that everything is done properly and in order." (1 Corinthians 14:40)



I could be the "in order" 1 Corinthians 14:40 poster child.

In my concrete-sequential mind, "properly" baked M & M cookies always have every "m" face down and no cookie has two M & M's of the same color. But with kids and grands tearing through the house this weekend, I kicked orderly out the window and slapped those suckers on hot cookies with no thought, rhyme, or reason as to right-sides up or well-ordered color schemes.

Is your world topsy-turvy, beloved? Look to Jesus - the 1 Corinthians 14:33 Lord, Almighty God, steadfast in order and perfect, never-ending peace amidst a world of chaotic children.

"For God is not a God of disorder but of peace - as in all the congregations of the Lord's people." (1 Corinthians 14:33)
