Do not miss out on the rewards of well-managed time. Order is what gives you the freedom to be creative. Order gives you the peace of mind you need to tune into God's supernatural frequencies and tap into divine inspiration. Without order you will be distracted with the cares and concerns of this life so that you cannot still your mind to hear God's voice.

It is impossible to imagine and envision when you are overextended and stressed. You need to schedule time to purposefully paint the canvas of your life by investing in creative dreaming. Stop to think. Order your day so that you have the time and peace you need to create the masterpiece God has preordained for you.

Like any professional composer, artist, architect, writer, or programmer, you must schedule time to think things through. Form follows thought, and the shape of your life is a product of that thought. Structure your time so that you can structure your thoughts, for they provide the structure for your life. Know when to take hold of an idea and run with it, and when to wait and let it mature until it has ripened. Get God's timing. Discern God's order.
Do not underestimate the importance and rewards of doing all things mindfully and in order. It is how we achieve excellence and become people of virtue. Honor and order are closely related. If you order your conduct aright, God will delight in you and show you His salvation. Conversely, if you delight in the Lord, He will order your steps.

To him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.

Psalm 50:23
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.

Psalm 37:23
The rewards of order are many. Order will ease your load and free your mind for greater peace, joy, and creativity.

Take a look at this short list of benefits you will reap by more effectively ordering your day:
1. Sense of control
2. Sense of purpose
3. Increase in productivity
4. An environment of creativity
5. Greater focus and flow of accomplishments
6. Strength to overcome those little foxes that spoil the vine (Song of Sol. 2:15)
7. Cultivating Clarity

You may be looking at your life and wondering if it is possible to remove the cloud of chaos that seems to hold dominion over you. There are two simple things you can do in order to move toward clearer skies. First, unclutter your environment. Whether at home or at the office, tidy up your immediate surroundings. When you have cleared off your desk or straightened your bedroom, wherever you find yourself, stop for a moment and unclutter your mind. Pause and still your thoughts so you can gain clarity on what is the most important thing for you to focus upon in your present moment.

Practice clearing your head by journaling or meditating on Scripture. Find a space where you can usher in the peace of God by quieting your mind through worship. Dump the distractions that try and push their way into your inner sanctuary by making lists and putting plans on paper to do later. Corral all those rogue thoughts onto a piece of paper where they can remain until you are ready to address them.

When you are ready, cast each care on the Lord one by one, knowing that God is hearing your prayer and watching over His Word to perform it. Jesus said, "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it" (John 14:13-14).

And John encouraged us by writing, "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him" (1 John 5:14-15).
Be still and know that He is God. (See Psalm 46:10.) Focus on doing what you know you should be doing, and let God do His part without doubting if He will or not.

"Good order is the foundation of all great things."
- Edmund Burke

I encourage you, as you bring order to your life, your destiny will change. You have the power! Make the decision to bring order to your life.
