Confusion & Peace

1 Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Paul is writing of keeping order
Of decency in church you see
Of understanding spiritual gifts
And how used they must be.

Of tongues and prophecy
Of interpretation or not
The usefulness of the gifts
That the blessed have begot.

When we want attention of us
To be the center of it you see
A chaos likely begins
Because we are not centered on Thee.

We want to be seen and heard
We want all to know
We have went astray
With gifts to help the church grow.

James wrote “ For where envy and self-seeking exist,
confusion and every evil thing are there.”
The power of Satan in our sin
Brings confusion everywhere.

The peace of God surpasses all understanding
The peace of God is assurance within
The peace of God is evident
The peace of God is free from sin.

The peace of God is in your heart
Sometimes for all to see
The peace of God is in your understanding
Sometimes for only you and Thee.

The decisions you struggle with
Those big ones that leave you confused
When you are clear of direction
The peace of God is used.

Prayer is the key to finding
The peace of God today
The constant pleas of the heart
Lord show me the way.

Just as Paul wrote of order
Paul sealed it with God’s peace
The confusion in your decisions
God’s calm will cause it to cease.
