Everything I observe makes me believe this is true: Order is not natural. When I consider my office, Im astounded at how quickly it descends into chaos and how long it takes me to restore order. Order requires intervention; it does not happen naturally. I shouldnt be surprised. Gods role in bringing order out of chaos is a prominent biblical theme. He did it when He was creating the nation of Israel {Ex. 7-14}. When God said it was time to bring the Hebrew people out of Egypt, Pharaoh objected. His nations economy depended on the Hebrew workers, so Pharaoh didnt want to lose them. To change Pharaohs mind, God sent 10 plagues--any of them. They could cause chaos, but they could not restore order. Only God can do that. With effort, we can bring order to our living spaces, but none of us can bring order out of the emotional and spiritual chaos of our lives. Only God can do that. He restores order to chaotic situations when we live a God intended--speaking no evil, being peaceable and gentle, and showing humility to all {Titus 3:2}. Father, our world and our lives do have much chaos and confusion. We need You to restore our souls. Help us to live as You want us to live--loving others. WHEN WE PUT OUR PROBLEMS IN GODS HANDS, HE PUTS HIS PEACE IN OUR HEARTS.
