Lately, I would have to say God has been showing me that God is a God of order and peace.   Our small group has been going through the Focus on the Family Truth Project video series and this, and other verses I've read or heard lately, seem to be reminding me and confirming that if I have a lack of peace in some area of my life as I relate to others, it is because I'm not keeping priorities straight - allowing the proper time for organization, responsibility or reflection in God's word that is needed. 

James 4:17 (New King James Version)

17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

Colossians 2:5 (New International Version)

5For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how orderly you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.

1 Corinthians 14:40 (New International Version)

40But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.

1 Corinthians 14:33 (New International Version)

33For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.
