To be organized, consider God’s order

Elaina Simpson

Judging by the popularity of shows about how to stay organized and how to downsize, and the number of books about organization, there’s no question many people today are looking to be more organized and orderly. While practical steps can be wonderfully helpful, how do we make these habits long-lasting and consistent?

I wanted to get better at organization and order. Yet, with work, extracurricular activities, a lively household, and being pulled in so many directions, it seemed impossible to keep it all straight! Can disorganization be healed?

The answer is yes. When we gain a better understanding of where order comes from, we see it expressed in our lives. My study of Christian Science has shown me that true orderliness comes from God alone, and if man is made in God’s image, as the Bible says, then everyone naturally reflects that order. In fact, expressing God’s order is a delight for God’s spiritual reflection.
