The natural state of all things trends toward chaos. That process of degradation is broadly defined as “entropy.” Without the intervention of focused energy to counteract entropy, all things are continually breaking down, trending toward disorder.

God not only offsets entropy but also creates order out of chaos.

While God builds up, Satan tears down. While God’s house “… is a house of order…” Satan’s realm is confusion and chaos. While God is the Creator, Satan is the destroyer.

Without intervention, entropy and chaos prevail spiritually and individually as well as physically and universally.

Chaos, darkness, and death are all consequences of not keeping God’s commandments. “Behold, mine house is a house of order, saith the Lord God, and not a house of confusion.”

How blessed we are to have God’s commandments. What safety, protection, and order come from keeping them.
