Order!

Everyday life and things in it have to be put together. It’s like a product that comes in pieces and you have to assemble it yourself. The first thing you need to do is get together with God because He has the plans and instructions. He’s the only one who knows what it really should look like and how to assemble it. If you follow instructions and do things in order then everything seems to come together and be right. But if you think you already know how to do it then you end up with odd and “extra” parts and things don’t quite work. Then you have to go back and do it over again according to instruction and in the right order. You can do it wrong as many times as you want and but you will be frustrated because you will never feel quite right until you get it right. There’s an honor and an order to everything. So…

1 Cor 14:40
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
NKJV

1 Cor 14:40 (def. added)
Let all things be done decently (also - honorably, honestly) and in order.
NKJV

1 Cor 14:40
Let all things be done in the right and ordered way.
BBE
