The concept of organisation in Scripture relates far more to our relationships with people than to the handling of things.  Organisation allows us to move through life with order and purpose.  This discipline is not reserved only for organised people, for God delights in helping each person to turn weakness into strength and to bring order from chaos (1 Cor. 14:40).  He redeems our times as well as our souls (Col. 4:5).

Smooth communications, effective problem solving, successful task management, and coordination of life’s pursuits is just as  necessary for meaningful interpersonal relationships as for juggling events and sorting activities.  The Lord insisted, through the advice of Jethro, that Moses establish a multi-tiered judicial system, which effectively placed “men of truth” as rulers of thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens (Ex. 18:13-26).  Jesus created order so that the hungry crowds could be fed by seating the people on the grass, allowing the disciples to move freely among them with bread and fish (Matt. 15:35).  Jesus, in sending out His disciples, organised them in teams of two and gave them well-ordered guidelines (Mark 6:7).

“JESUS CREATED ORDER SO THAT THE HUNGRY CROWDS COULD BE FED BY SEATING THE PEOPLE ON THE GRASS, ALLOWING THE DISCIPLES TO MOVE FREELY AMONG THEM WITH BREAD AND FISH”. 

Decision making, assignment of space, accomplishment of tasks, and clear lines of communication are thus ordered with one goal in mind – that our lives and environment might be so ordered as to give maximum freedom for achieving His goals.  In organising home or office, priority should be given to policies and structures that ministry of Jesus, who frequently overstepped the boundaries set by the “religious” leaders of His day in order to bring truth, comfort, and healing to those in need.
