Pants Before Shoes~
There are certain things that when put on order just seem to make sense; letter A before B, number 1 before 2, takeoff before landing, pants before shoes. If we try these things in any other order they don't work, or if they do not nearly as well. Yesterday I wrote that before a beginning there must first come and ending, and in this case the reverse seems more applicable to our spiritual lives that a beginning before and end. When we consider the existance of God, the Creator of the Universe, who is a being that has no beginning and no end, we can see that ORDER is critical to Their very existance, and hence ours.
The order of creation is delineated in Genesis Chapter 1 and 2. We see LIGHT created after dark, FORM after void, animals after the plants that sustain them, and TIME CLOCKS after chaos. The existance of God is seen in the order in which everything is processed and made. And this is also true for the nature of our own individual and unique spirits-our souls.
Humans beings as a species were all created on the 6th Day of Creation. Each had a unique 'soul' that began existance the moment consiousness awareness made its presence felt. Seeing this amazing creative power of God Satan decided that he wanted a piece of that action, and "deceived the nations" (Isa. 14:12) into believeing that he was creator. This reversed the order of things to such and extent that everything we now hold to be true is backward to what is actually true.
Jesus came to earth with the words of the Father to reestablish the order of ORDER. When our minds connect with THIS concept we accomplish what Jesus said in John 17, UNITY with the Father, through the Son, by the Holy Spirit, through the WORD that will bring Truth and order to our spirits/souls, such that we can enter the Kingdom of God as full members of Their family.
