Today's readings are 1 Kings 2.1-27 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=1+Kings+2.1-27 ), 1 Corinthians 13.1-13 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=1+Cor.+13.1-13 ), and 1 Corinthians 14.1-16.23 ( http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=1+Cor.+14.1-16.23 ).
As I read 1 Corinthians 13-16 today one idea kept coming to the surface. Order. There is a divine plan for how things are to come about. There is divine order and reason in everything. Though this mortal life is a mystery to you and me, in God's plan it will put on immortality. It is at that time, when our mortal body puts on immortality and so our true life of body and soul together can no longer be ripped apart in death, at that time we will see true victory. Death will have lost its sting. This is our Lord's order.
What are the orders for the day, Lord? I don't know and I don't understand most of them once I do know them. But I know that there is divine order and our Lord and Savior, the one man in whom all life is found, Jesus the resurrected firstfruits, is the one who holds that order and will bring it to pass.
Lord, help me see your order.
