Divine Order

We often believe that Divine Order is a matter out of our hands. We assign such order to a God that is outside of ourselves, making decision for us and guiding us into the right direction. Unfortunately, such interpretations do no longer make sense when we embrace our Oneness with God or Godessence and when we understand God to be Principle rather than entity. Then there is no longer a God with a mind or opinion of his/her/its own. There is only Beingness, infinite Potential and Possibility, and Unlimitedness in the Presence of All.

I release any power I give to confusion and chaos in my mind, heart, and soul. I find balance and adjust as I realize that all is in Divine Order.

From such a perspective, waiting for God to intervene and put things back in order is futile. God as Principle is not doing anything; we must take action. We may refer to ourselves as the activity of God when describing our relationship from the Oneness perspective. In order for anything to happen, we must become active. The same Principle applies to Divine Order. We cannot just sit back and let go and let God (in the traditional sense) and expect everything to be alright. Our activity is essential and necessary and it is the foundation of our Divine Order.

Mind you, that sometimes activity means being still. The choice to step back and recenter or take a moment in prayer or meditation is an activity that allows us to refocus our attention to our Divine Nature. When things are getting chaotic or confusing, it often helps to take a breath and realign ourselves with our spiritual Self, beyond the chaos and confusion, for then our choices and activities are more closely aligned to what we describe as our Divine Order. 

In Divine Order we find balance. Things are organized and well adjusted. We express our ability to sequence events and experiences along with our spiritual Path and in alignment with our true Nature. Divine Order is expressed as we step into the Christ Self. We raise our consciousness to that of Christ within and we become active from that Divine Perception. Everything is in perfect Order once we realize that, in Truth, it already has been Divine. Only our perception and judgment of it was distorted. Once we see clearly, we understand.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. —John 1:1

Maybe today you find a moment to explore your Divine Order. Take something that challenges you or that you find is out of balance. Then realign your Awareness with your spiritual Self and see the Essence from which your circumstances have come from and fallen out of balance. Apply your new-found Understanding by making new choices and see all fall back into perfect Balance. Embrace the Divine Order as your tool to shift what is no longer serving you towards your support on your spiritual journey. It is yours to do and yours to enjoy.

And so it is. Amen.
