Is A Little Chaos Good? Not In My Neighborhood!

Is a little chaos actually good for us?

Hmmmm? Sounds like a very provocative question, so let’s first define the word. In ancient Hebrew the word chaos is “tohu vevohu”

CHAOS = “tohu vevohu” - Hebrew
It means formless, empty, disorder, confusion

That doesn’t sound good. So I searched God’s Word to see what He has to say regarding ‘chaos’:

“For the Lord is God, and he created the heavens and earth and put everything in place. He made the world to be lived in, not to be a place of empty chaos. “I am the Lord,” he says, “and there is no other.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭45‬:‭18‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God’s voice thunders, and the earth melts!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“It is a land as dark as midnight, a land of gloom and confusion, where even the light is dark as midnight.’””
‭‭Job‬ ‭10‬:‭22‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“I publicly proclaim bold promises. I do not whisper obscurities in some dark corner. I would not have told the people of Israel to seek me if I could not be found. I, the Lord, speak only what is true and declare only what is right.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭45‬:‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28‬:‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing.”
‭‭Job‬ ‭26‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Inside, the people were all shouting, some one thing and some another. Everything was in confusion. In fact, most of them didn’t even know why they were there.”
‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭19‬:‭32‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“For wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.”
‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“It will be called the Land of Nothing, and all its nobles will soon be gone.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭34‬:‭12‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“O infamous city, filled with confusion, you will be mocked by people far and near.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭22‬:‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“The day of the Lord is near, the day when destruction comes from the Almighty. How terrible that day will be!”
‭‭Joel‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this. Previously, you let yourselves be slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin. Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬
