This is my desk on Monday morning. It looks all chaotic. For someone looking from the outside they can easily say, how is anything productive being done.
But in the chaos, there is an organized function taking place. Things are getting accomplished and done, and the goal is being attained.
That is how it is with the operation and influence of God in our lives. With our finite minds using our individual (and cultural) schema and heuristics to form the framework of our theology, we can look at situations and immediately stereotype and be biased, and make generalizations. But thank God for who He is. He is infinite, using the stoned the builders rejected to be the chief Cornerstone; using the foolish and baseless things to confound the wise. The apparent chaos that may be going on, is actually a functional strategy at work! Who would have thought taking the Son of God to be tortured and killed, even though was Satan's plan it was actually God using the chaos for his intended purpose without anyone but Him knowing? And because we have the Spirit revealing His mind to us, we are no longer clueless to the theory of organized chaos at work!
(I spend my time researching psychology theories, so when I see a similar pattern repeat itself, I can hypothesize a theory)
