Organisation. It is a hard thing to balance in a church setting. We end up in a number of scenarios. We might decide that organisation is basically un-Godly, since we must trust Him for everything and probably our church is quite sloppily run as a result. We might decide that organisation is very important and might end up therefore restricting what God can do because it doesn't fit into the organisational plan. Otherwise we might end up with some sort of balance.
In Israel, we see David being very keen on organisation and we can learn a few things about what works and what doesn't. The key things here are gifting and trust. We cannot imagine David picking a weakling to run the army or an idiot to run the storehouses. He was apparently gifted himself in spotting talent and using it - something important to do in churches. The other thing was then trusting these people (with some accountability of course) to do what they were good at and were entrusted to do. There can be interference from people above us if there is a lack of trust or some lack-lustre performances from people in positions they are not gifted in.
