Set up your mess...

" Deal with it before it happens. Set things in order before there is confusion" Layozi

God, has programmed the human minds to arrange, and set things in order. Setting up things, is rather very important for a given operation to run smoothly. If, at all the things are not set up just think of the mess, and chaos which is going to happen. Everyone, will be running around like, tom and jerry. Set up, or arranging things in order is almost the same.

When we are going to organize a wedding, a party or any function won't we see if the table is set up, the lights are set up, music is set up. All the arrangements are scrutinized by the leader. Once, you start to set up the things, then only you will know, what is lacking and that brings the quality of best leadership.

When, I was a nursing student, I remember the posting in operation theatre, the table was set up before the operation with; the needle, scissors, blades, sutures and other equipments. A list of items, which is already planned is written down. Instruments autoclaved, and set up. The setting up of the table is usually done by the nurse who is going to assist the doctor for operation.

When the doctor, operates and things are missing; we were sure to get a scolding, same is the case with our heavenly Father, He does not shout, or scold, or get angry, because; He is a kind and compassionate 'God'. It is a reminder for us: to set up things in lives. Many places, in bible importance to setting up things is mentioned. If you see in Genesis He told Abraham to set things for the sacrifice of Isaac. 

Today morning, while going through my reading portion, the word 'set up' enlightened my mind. Have you seen, an Orthopedician, if a limb is fractured, he put a cast to immobilize the limb? The cast is put for the limb to set up in that position from the wear and tear of the ligaments. God, asked Moses to set up the tabernacle, repeatedly He says to set up the lamps, set up the  courtyard, in fact all things to be set in proper order before worship. Ex 40:2 "Set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting,  on the first day of the first month."

If you see even in new testament He wants to set our minds, our thoughts, set our hearts to God before worship. As He, is the God of order, your mind should be set on things which are above, not on earthly things. As we read in Col 3:2 "Set your mind on things above not on earthly things". God sets things right in our lives. He wants, us to be righteous as He is. Even, though we are living in this earth but; our mind and heart should always be in heaven.

God has set up everything right for us in order. You, just have to follow Him and receive His blessings. He knows the mess in your lives and He is ready to set it up for you. Just go near, a closer walk with Him. He wants everything in order from your lives.

I’m just writing a blog post, please do not see it as my power to control you in anything, this post is only for your reminder and encouragement. As, everyone of you are a good leader who, set up things well beforehand. I’d also love to hear from you. Please do leave a comment. God bless you.
