Get Smart!

God is not a God of chaos but a God of peace.

1 Corinthians 14:33a

 

If you look at pretty much any news outlet, you will see they have lots of stories about the chaos which seems to be taking over the world.  Every group seems to be protesting and people seem to be so angry at everything and everyone.  And if we allow it, we will believe that the world is coming apart at the seams and it would appear that God has lost control.

 

Well, that's what our enemy wants us to think.  He wants us to believe that the world is His and God has lost control of everything.  And that is nothing less than a lie from the pit and stinks like smoke!

 

I remember as a child watching the television show "Get Smart" which was about the ongoing struggle between Chaos and Control.  I laughed at some of the antics of the show because it was funny.  But the message was not lost on my young mind...we are in a struggle between chaos and control.  There are those who want no rules so they can do whatever their whim of the moment might be with no consequences.  Yet we know that every action is preceded by a thought and every decision will have consequences that are good or bad.

 

Yet understand, God is not a God of chaos, but He is a God of peace!  Now living in peace does not mean lay down and be a doormat. Peace comes with boundaries and rules.
