“And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe.”
John 14:29 ESV
1 Corinthians 14: 33... For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—
In a Bible study I was in, the question was asked, "What is Satan's goal?" Two or three people said in unison "chaos" which surprised me. I expected to hear sin or temptation, but as we discussed this, it became clear that chaos really describes what we face every day...the confusion, the distortions, the lack of clarity, the doubts that surrounds us.
When we are confronted with life's challenges and trials, if we focus on all that is challenging us, we soon become overwhelmed. We become so focused on our problems that we forget that Christ is beside us. Psalm 23 1-2: The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul.
Jesus Christ is the only One who can bring order and peace into this world of chaos. Fox News, CNN, government are all contributing to the chaos because they tend to come between us and Jesus.
The wonderful thing is that as we focus on Jesus when we are in the midst of chaos, we allow Him to be our Shepherd and the chaos of Satan is put in it's proper place...behind us.
