First things First

To obtain peace, get your life in order, to keep it, keep it in order. You were not created for chaos but made for methodology. Not that you can’t be spontaneous, but when your life is a mess you live in distress and don’t have time for recess. But when everything is in order then you’re free to go, do and see whatever you may be inclined to be. Putting things in sequence helps eliminate stress and supports success. When life gets “out of order” things don’t work efficiently, and less efficiency means more work for you and me.

Mark 12:29-31
29 Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
NKJV

Matt 6:33-34
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
NKJV

Luke 14:27-33
27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it — 29 lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, 30 saying, 'This man began to build and was not able to finish.' 31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.
NKJV

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

1 Cor 14:40
But all things should be done with regard to decency and propriety and in an orderly fashion.
