1 Corinthians 14:40 reads,
"Let all things be done decently and in order."
What exactly does this look like? How do you know if you are in
order and doing things in order?
My husband expressed to me in very simple terms that order can
only be displayed through relationships that God has ordained. As
a woman you will serve in an authoritative and submissive capacity
at all times. From the beginning, God's word says that we are to
have dominion over the earth and subdue it. So you as a woman first
and formost must have authority over yourself and your immediate
surroundings.
You are also to be submitted to an authority, whether that be to
God through the universal church, to your pastor at the local church
or to your husband IF you are married. These are the three(3)
relationships that God ordains. It is through these relationships
that you will (should) surely be able to recognize your strengths
and weaknesses in the area of order. THERE MUST BE ORDER!
Now you may want to ask yourself, "Am I in order?" Do
I have control over my life? Am I submitted
to God, my pastor and my husband? (if married)
