I couldn't find my coat because it was hanging up-
Right where it was supposed to be!
I finally cleaned my closet, and I can’t find a thing.
It was easier before, because I knew it was on the floor
or somewhere where it shouldn't be.
But I would find it quicker.
Retraining this chaotic brain of mine,
that simple is good.
So simple, but this has complicated my life, or do I complicate it?
I am allowed to live a non chaotic life.
Do I give up and throw all my clothes back on the floor so i will know where to find them?
The weight of Chaos: complete disorder and confusion
I think of pig pen
Wherever he went the dust ball followed him,
or did he create it?
How do you add a pound of chaos to your day?
It is so subtle, but it is there.
How do you complicate simplicity without even knowing it
because simple seems too easy?
But God..
Knowing that we need
Simple in the midst of complicated
Rest in the midst of a mess
Order in the midst of disorder...
He did something about it
And sent Peace in the midst of chaos
Jesus...
Who
Brings order into disorder
Rest in the midst of a mess
He is quite simple
Because He is right where He always is
with me
with you.
Even though I know exactly where He is ..
I will look for Him in other places
And when I do
I create chaos
Because He hasn't moved.
But
He waits
with outstretched arms
Ready to take our hand
To bring simple
instead of chaos.
So today
Let's fast from Chaos...
And
hang up your coat
And live simply
Because
He simply wants to walk with you.
“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way.
The Lord be with all of you.”
II Thessalonians 3:16
