Light brought order in creation. In the beginning darkness covered the deep. But light made possible for us to experience the different seasons of life, summer, winter, spring, autumn.
Looking at the sky, God saw something was missing. The plants would bring forth but what would mark the seasons? So “He said let there be lights in the sky to mark as signs for time, days and years."
He created the creatures of the sea and commanded the earth to bring forth living creatures. Finally God made mankind in His own image and likeness.
We see here order in creation. God didn’t first start with forming the land, cause there would be chaos since it was dark. He also didn’t start with the Human beings. Where would they live? In darkness? What would they feed on? Would they survive in water? No! They needed a land that would yield and light to estimate the timings.
Since our Creator is an orderly God, let's also have order in our lives. When He commands us to do something, he wants the best for us.
He made us in His own image and likeness, so He intends us to be like Him. He wants us to live a life that pleases him.
That’s why He gave the Israelites the ten commandments. To govern their lives and be people of order among other nations. He wanted them to stand out as His nation.
There were orders that were to be followed before one was crowned Queen. Let’s look at Queen Esther’s story, they were given beauty treatments for a period of twelve months before they went in before the King. Six months beautification with oil of myrrh and six months with [sweet] spices and perfumes.
When Jesus Christ came to earth to redeem us, there was order He didn’t just come and start over. He went through the baptism of water as was required for all Christians then he had to be commissioned by the Holy Spirit as He guided him on when to start. He always relied on the Holy Spirit throughout His ministry on earth.
The rules and regulations of a nation are put together so that the nation can be organized. If this principle applies in various countries, why then do we as the body of Christ want to live the way we want? If everyone in the world lived like that then there would be chaos all over.
Let's submit ourselves to God's order.
