Systems and Order

I had an epiphany (aka a revelation) the other day. I was standing at one of the folding machines at work and thinking about the process I go through at each machine so that I can get it to run as fast as possible and still be doing the work correctly. I realized that as long as you come up with a system or routine and stick to it, you can keep up with the machine. Then the revelation came as I realized there is a system for everything in this life. I started to think about what the leaders of a leadership development organization I worked with a few years ago would say: that you just need to plug into the system and you would be successful. As I pondered this, my mind was flooded with all these different ways that "systems" applied to the world around me.

In science there are systems: the solar system, the water cycle, the rock cycle, weather patterns, chemical bonding, laws that govern physics, etc. There is an order to all of it that seems natural. I know this order comes from God and he has established order in all things. There are systems for happiness and misery in life; systems for business success; systems for creating unity; computer systems, game systems, and plumbing systems. The system(s) that interested me most out of all that I thought of were the ones for successful living in this life. God has given us a specific order or system that will lead us back to live with him and all we have to do is step into that system and become what he wants us to become and we will have accomplished what he sent us here to do. I testify that He put in order all the systems here for our success. When you discover the system, jump into it with both feet, swallow your pride and make whatever changes are necessary and I promise you it will be worth it!! I love you and Heavenly Father loves you more!
