For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it a chaos, he formed it to be inhabited!): I am the LORD, and there is no other.
(Isaiah 45.18 NRSV)

I read once about an uncomfortable experience that happened to actress Carol Burnett. She got out of a cab one day and caught her coat in the door. The driver was unaware of her plight and slowly began to edge out into traffic. To keep from being pulled off her feet, the comedienne had to run alongside down the block.

A passerby noted her predicament and quickly alerted the driver. He stopped, jumped out, and released Miss Burnett's coat.

"Are you all right?" he asked anxiously.

"Yes," she gasped, "but how much more do I owe you?"

Life goes like that sometimes. We not only snag ourselves, but we get a bill for the experience as well. For some of us, of course, our problems are no laughing matter.

That is why we need Jesus in our live, so he will be there to carry us through the problems of life.

Dear God, thanks for bringing wholeness to my life in the midst of chaos. Amen.
