How does chaos affect my relationships? - Chaos - TouchPoints

Isaiah 24:10The city writhes in chaos; every home is locked to keep out intruders.

Chaos can cause people to become fearful, defensive and apprehensive of one another.

Judges 7:22When the 300 Israelites blew their rams’ horns, the Lord caused the warriors in the camp to fight against each other with their swords. Those who were not killed fled.

Isaiah 19:2“I will make Egyptian fight against Egyptian—brother against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, province against province.”

Zechariah 14:13On that day they will be terrified, stricken by the Lord with great panic. They will fight their neighbors hand to hand.

Haggai 2:22I will overthrow royal thrones and destroy the power of foreign kingdoms. I will overturn their chariots and riders. The horses will fall, and their riders will kill each other.

Chaos breeds panic and can make enemies out of friends and neighbors. Often, self-destruction follows.

1 Corinthians 1:10I appeal to you, dear brothers and sisters, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, to live in harmony with each other. Let there be no divisions in the church. Rather, be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.

James 3:16Wherever there is jealousy and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind.

Chaos is ungodly and is not conducive to healthy, loving relationships. It deprives people and churches of the harmony that God desires.
