The Peace in the Chaos

Driving home from my MMA training, I heard a song on the radio that perfectly describes how I feel when God is working in my life.

The chorus begins: "Whatever You're doing, inside of me, it feels like chaos, but somehow there's peace."

And that's it. That describes it.

I just feel Him moving. Doing "something" inside of me. I often don't have a clue until much later in the game. Sometimes it's not until the process is complete that I can see retrospectively what He has accomplished.

In the midst of it - and at the beginning, especially - it feels chaotic. "Something" has been shaken loose, or knocked out of place. Perhaps a light has been shown on an area of my life that previously has been in the dark and unnoticed.

Perhaps there is a loss - or a healing - and what was previously known as the status quo is all discombobulated. There is chaos.

Yet, still, as I step out - sometimes into the midst of the storm, it seems - there is peace.

I know You will never lead me where Your grace and protection cannot keep me. So I continue to step out on faith and trust.

Maybe, though, I could step out next time without so much delay.

"Whatever You're doing, inside of me, it feels like chaos, but somehow there's peace...."
