For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it a chaos, he formed it to be inhabited!): I am the LORD, and there is no other. I did not speak in secret, in a land of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, “Seek me in chaos.” I the LORD speak the truth, I declare what is right. Assemble yourselves and come together, draw near, you survivors of the nations! They have no knowledge—those who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying to a god that cannot save. Declare and present your case; let them take counsel together! Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the LORD? There is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is no one besides me. Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other. By myself I have sworn, from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness a word that shall not return: “To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.” Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and strength; all who were incensed against him shall come to him and be ashamed. In the LORD all the offspring of Israel shall triumph and glory. (Isaiah 45:18-25, NRSV)
Have you ever stopped and thought about creation?
How everything was created?
Sometimes it seems like chaos. The world around us is so chaotic that it seems like it was created to be chaos. But is that creation or the way we see it and experience it?
You see, the world was created “good”! For when God saw everything He said it was good.
So it is not chaos or chaotic, but we experience like that because we are living in our flesh and in a sinful nature, which makes us see the world as chaos, yet in God’s eye and the hand that created everything it is good and perfect. If we turn to Him, and live in His peace and see the world through His eyes, the chaos will fade and our true life will be seen.
So live in His live, trusting in His peace, knowing His creation was and is good!
