I heard a preacher made this comment about human beings once. He said if you want to create chaos, simply put humans into any situation, and you have chaos. Although I wouldn't deny the statement, I still did not fully appreciate it until another preacher pointed out a part in the Bible which clearly illustrates the point.
We humans often boast on how we can build things and create things to improve life, as though we are the reason everything in this world is in order. What makes it more pathetic is that when trouble comes, we blame God for it. It is interesting that the Bible paints a very different picture. In Genesis, we see God is the one who created the world and put everything in order. However, when we come to the first mention of the first two humans doing things together, what did they do? They disobeyed God. If the very first mention of man was to disobey God and cause disorder, funny how we can grow to think that we can turn the tides and start restoring order without God.
Maybe it is time we learn to recognize our tendency to fail, and look to the one whom we know holds everything into place, the one Lord and Savior - Christ Jesus.
