God Is In Order!
"For by Him all things were created that are
in heaven and that are on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or
principalities or
powers. All things were
created through Him and for Him."
Colossians 1: 16
Entropy is a
measure of disorder or randomness.
For example, if we fail to apply purposeful energy
in our life or to our property, disorder and decay—
entropy
increases. And the opposite of entropy is
purpose and design, sustained by the application
of energy and power.
When God created
the heavens and the earth
(Genesis 1:1), He did so ex nihilo—“out of nothing.”
From chaos and darkness, He brought forth order
by His own design—the order we observe at all
levels of creation.
Paul summarizes God’s approach to everything
by saying, “God is not the author of confusion
but of peace”
(1 Corinthians 14:33).
God’s purpose is reflected in His creation
of the angelic beings: angels, archangels,
seraphim, cherubim, angels of the Lord,
mighty ones, hosts of heaven, and more.
Take comfort today that you serve a
God
of order and purpose and that includes
the hierarchy of His angelic servants.
"I meditate on the blessed obedience
and order of angels, without which no
peace could be in heaven, and oh that
it might be so on earth!"
Richard Hooker
