The Thought: Chaos, what is the definition in your mind?

Wikipedia says, "Chaos (derived from the Ancient Greek Χάος, Chaos) typically means a state lacking order or predictability. In ancient Greece, it meant the initial state of the universe, and, by extension, space, darkness, or an abyss^[1] (the antithetical concept was cosmos). In modern English, it is used in classical studies with this original meaning; in mathematics and science to refer to a very specific kind of unpredictability; and informally to mean a state of confusion.^[2] In popular culture, the word can occur with all three meanings."

It was brought to my attention if you have a messy room, or a messy house, or a messy closet that reflects the word CHAOS, that it is indeed a reflection of the inner you. Most likely you are highly intelligent and very controlling about everything else in your life. Chaos is the simple lack of organization. Despite what our youngest daughter thought about it meaning idiot behavior, it has nothing to do with that. It is lack of being "together".

Let's look at God and chaos. If you read in Genesis about the creation, you know that God created everything piece by piece and also with peace. Everything has its place and time to be. He took what was chaos and made it into organized life. When God is present there cannot be chaos. Where one is, the other cannot be. You are not 'together' with God if you have chaos.

Through out the bible there are stories of chaos and then results of organization and peace. Think about those folks that drowned with the flood while Noah floated on his boat. The survivors began again in a peaceful beginning or restart. What happened to the slaves in Exodus? The Hebrew families faced much stress and had no control over the things happening in their lives. God took them to safety to Sinai. There He taught them how to live and treat each other and respect His laws. He established order.

So look at your life. If there is chaos right now, God is not there. You need to bring Him into your life and your family life. It is not suppose to be hard. You need to lay aside the old self which is broadly influenced by the world of wants and turn back to the simple needs of life.

Put on your new self today in the likeness of God and let go of the chaos in your life. Simplify.

"But if you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have head Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth." Ephesians 4:20-24.

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans." Worrisome times laced with prayers. The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes. My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years? You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas SOLD by Laurie Pace I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting. Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma." One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works. The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 . Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
