God’s Plan for Growth Through Change

Life often feels like a series of twists and turns, leaving you searching for stability. In those moments, it’s easy to question what’s happening and why. However, the Bible reveals a powerful truth: growth comes through the pattern of order, disorder, and reorder. This pattern isn’t just a concept; it’s woven into your life and modeled by Jesus Himself.

1. Order: The Comfort of Stability

Order represents the familiar and the steady. It’s when life feels predictable, and everything seems to work as it should. In Judges 6:1, Gideon’s story began during a time when everything felt shaky and uncertain. The Israelites were living under oppression, yet it was the reality they had come to accept. Similarly, you may find yourself clinging to the comfort of order, even if it’s not the best God has for you.

2. Disorder: The Challenge of Change

Disorder disrupts the comfort of order. It can feel like heat turning kernels into popcorn—unexpected, chaotic, and transformative. Jesus describes this process in John 12:24, saying, “Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” Challenges and disruptions, though painful, are often the path to God’s greater plans.

3. Reorder: The Beauty of God’s Transformation

Reorder is the result of trusting God through the disruption. In Judges 6:14, God tells Gideon, “Go in the strength you have... I am sending you.” Though Gideon felt unqualified, God saw his potential. When you allow God to lead, He brings new purpose and growth, often far beyond what you imagined (Romans 8:28).
