1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

Long ago I heard a sermon on order. An example was set before us of the building of great cathedrals of Europe. The first act was to plant the trees that would become the beamed ceilings. It would take seventy years for the trees to mature to the height required ad seventy years before the structure would need them.

How did they know this was the first step? That in itself will lead you to more and more questions. We will end up like little children asking why, why, why, every time we are asked to do something. Order is a given and who gives the orders is everything.

2 Corinthians 5:11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. NIV

Look to the order here and see that fear of the Lord comes before identity, i.e. what you are. Lastly you have to accept that the conscience built in you by exercise of faith recognizes the authority given by God to understand and execute the plans that God has for any effort. They are relayed to you by men.

The real issue beyond execution of orders is the recognition and acceptance of being a part of a body of believers who trust in you to do your part as much you trust in them.

Judges 20:36 So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.

If you have fear of the Lord first in your heart, can we trust you to follow orders?
