Please read 1 Corinthians 14.
Meditate on verses 33 and 40.
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace,
as in all the churches of the saints.
But all things must be done properly
and in an orderly manner.
1
Corinthians 14 is one of those chapters in the Bible that can create
controversy among Christians to the delight of nonbelievers. So when God wanted
Paul to write about concerns that were causing division in the church, He had
him remind the believers about who God is. God is a God of peace, and church
should be a place where things are done properly and in an orderly manner. It
should not be confusing to go to church. (If your church is confusing, do not
quit attending. As a member of the body, teach your church this truth from
God’s Word.)
God is a God
of peace. When you are controlled by the God of peace, your home, your church,
and your life should be functioning in an orderly, proper manner.
Pray about
areas where you need the God of peace to take control. Be obedient to His
instruction and pray 1 Corinthians 14:20 over yourself and those for whom you
stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD,
help and me not be children in our thinking;
yet in evil let us be infants,
but in
our thinking make us mature.
In Your
name, Jesus~”
