day 1074: Order

"Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was excellent in every way."

Business starts and ends with the need for order.  What is bought from us and sold to a customer is called an order.  Without orders we don't exist.  In order to fulfill an order, there must be order.  Order is critical to business success.  Yet, order is so hard to achieve and most of our days are spent with some time and energy expended in finding, creating, recreating, establishing, or guaranteeing order in our work processes.  Why this is so important is because any organization that is charged with delivering or fulfilling a brand promise must understand that having order in that delivery is the difference between success and failure.  Why is this?  It is because business is made of people and without someone giving us order(s) we, when left to our own device, will bring randomness and as many different ways of going about work as there are people assigned to and working within the company. The irony is that the human physiological operating system is exactly the same across every human being, until it gets to the mind, and then from there, it's one for one and we each operate differently within our reasons of choice, desire, wants, and needs. So, it is incumbent on us to bring order to our work and work that hard for success.

God brought the world order and then gave man free choice and we created chaos.  He loves order and it can be seen throughout His Word.  We are built in His image so we should pursue order within our lives if we want to have others see His image in us. Those who live within order are usually thought of as "together" and that is a great first start.  With order we fulfill promises, we let less people down, and we find time to give of ourselves when called upon.  Is there enough order in your life?  Are you looking to Him for the ensuring that the priorities of your life are ordered correctly?  Let's think about order to today.
