Was just thinking today about the idea of chaos. To fill you in, I've begun studying this year, and my first module is The Old Testament Survey. (They wanted to ease us in gently..not!) So I'm starting at the beginning, Literally, with Genesis Ch 1. Its talking about the start of everything which was nothing really! 'Formless and empty darkness', that's what it says, and the original term used for this meant Chaos.
Now Chaos is a term i understand.I'm a self confessed control freak. I know what it is to feel like everything around me is spinning out of control, without purpose and shape and order.....and nothing freaks me more!! And today as i read i had a revelation. You see only God can create something out of nothing. Man can create and manipulate and transform but it always has a starting point, a material, a fabric, a plan, a concept. But God comes along and creates something amazing from nothing. Wow. He comes along and with a word, the Chaos is stilled.
I firmly believe that God is a God of order, purpose, plan and destiny. Where he resides and controls, there will be no chaos. And i thought very simply, if i could just learn to surrender the control over to him, my life would be chaos free. Filled with order, purpose, destiny, peace and ultimately way less freak outs!
