Confusion and Chaos 1 Cor 14:33

©Lightwritingmatters 2015

 Today’s panoramic overview of the world has caused many to feel that their lives were interrupted with automatic disorder, chaos and confusion. The ‘normal’ was radically changed by a virus that draped the globe.

The curious person who believes in a higher power, a deity, or GOD naturally questions how could this be allowed to go on for so very long all the while erasing many vestiges of freedom and routine. It is a fair question. However, a simple answer is: “For God is not the author of confusion but of peace,...” --KJV or as a more literal translation states it: “for God is not a God of tumult, but of peace,...” -- YLT

James actually records who is responsible for confusion: ‘For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”--James 3:16

According to Strong’s the word for confusion:”STRONGS NT 181: ἀκαταστασία -- has the following definition: “instability, a state of disorder, disturbance, confusion” --ref: Blb.org

Here is what Paul wrote to Christians of his day; most definitely all the wiser admonition today. “But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.”--1Thess 5:8-11 [italics added]

Finally, this: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”--1Thess 5:21

If we are busy in prayer, in study, in meditation of GOD’s Word it helps us not only make sense of ‘nonsense’ or trials but gives us solid ideas on how to resolve our lives to free ourselves of the confusion, chaos and disorder. †

NOTICE: If you are feeling inclined or feeling led to want Jesus as your Savior, your leader, your King, your source of Peace and Joy but are feeling woefully inadequate, uninformed on how best to get to know HIM, or find yourself at wit’s end because you believe yourself trapped and in need of GOD, please know Jesus stands ready to welcome you with HIS Holy Spirit. Believe these words: “16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. “—John 3:16

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” – Acts 3:19-20

“Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born [a]again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” – John 3:3-8
