Order Over Chaos

There was an order to Creation. Specific things created in a specific order that mattered.

That shouldn’t surprise us, for God is a God of order.

For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. (1 Corinthians 14:33 NLT) 

Perhaps that’s why creativity actually comes most alive when there is order rather than chaos. Madeleine L’Engle, the author of Walking on Water and A Wrinkle in Time noted: 

“A life lived in chaos in an impossibility for the artist. No matter how unstructured may seem the painter’s garret in Paris or the poet’s pad in Greenwich Village, the artist must have some kind of order or he will produce a very small body of work. To create a work of art, great or small, is work, hard work, and work requires discipline and order.” 

If your creativity has lately been bogged down by chaos or disorder, remember this: while chaos is primal, it isn’t eternal. It didn’t always exist. 

Chaos didn’t get the first word nor does it get the last. Only God does. 

When chaos and the Creator come face-to-face, chaos blinks every time.

Inviting God’s wisdom and order into your creativity never bogs it down. It disperses the chaos and frees it to be all it was meant to be.
