Ataxophobia

Has your life ever felt completely out of control, and there seems to be enough time to complete everything on your rather extensive to-do list. The late Jim Rohn (entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker) made this timely observation. “Either you run the day, or the day runs you.”

The scripture provides important principals in accomplishing tasks and reaching one’s priorities.

“But be sure that everything is done properly and in order”

I Corinthians 14:40 (NLT)

“It’s obvious isn’t it? The place where your treasure is, [will be] the place you will want to be, and end up being.” (Matthew 6:21)

Our Heavenly Father wishes your life to be organized. God also knows that human beings only make time for what they really want to do and, is the most important them.

You’ve probably met the friend (or family member) that says something like: “One day I’ll write a novel, organize my car (house), and settle down (with a wife and kids)” or numerous other things.

As we all know, tasks in life don’t get finished unless you do them (or pay someone to do them). If you’ve been lucky enough to find your life partner (like me), it may seem that whole meeting time happened by chance. Is that really true though?

In your Heavenly Father’s ultimate diagram for your life (Jeremiah 29:11), I believe everything is organized (and predestined), and nothing is left to chance. The Almighty placed you in the right place at the exact time (whether that happened to be work, church, a dating service, or numerous other places) to make that special connection.

Many have grown-up hearing this required maternal cliché, “cleanliness is next to godliness.” This phrase was first recorded in a sermon by John Wesley in 1778. It refers to cleanliness being connected to spiritual integrity as in “It makes God happy when you bathe regularly.”

Though great hygiene is an admirable personal quality in the U.S.A., what the Almighty really finds of value is when His children are serving Him as found in Romans 12:11 (MSG). “Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and a flame.”

Your Heavenly Father does not want you to be afraid of allowing Him to molding your life into what it needs to be no matter how long this adventure of a lifetime takes. The Almighty wants you in a relationship with Him for the long haul (or the rest of your life).

Did you know there are people that struggle with an illogical (to others), enormous, possibly lifetime fear of disorder or chaos? This is known as” Ataxophobia.”(See Fear Factor)

Many doubts (or dreads) about anything in life often vanish as one involves themself (in small controlled amounts) of the practice of that aversion. (Psychologically, this remedy is known as “immersion therapy.”)

I Corinthians 15:58 (NLT) is the Christian version of the above practice. “So, my dear brothers and sister, be strong and immoveable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.”
