Create in Chaos

We live in chaotic times. In the midst of the storms, it’s easy to put your creative dreams on hold and just hunker down…to wait for a more ideal time to pursue what makes you come alive.

Don’t give into that temptation. Instead, do the exact opposite.

Great works of art are often created during the most difficult moments of history. So don't wait for things to calm down. Create defiant works of beauty, life, and hope NOW and watch the chaos retreat. When chaos and the Creator come face-to-face, chaos blinks every time. So join God and bring peace, light, beauty, and order to this messed-up world. Choose creation within the chaos. Eternal art is often born in the midst of great chaos. It defies chaos. But it doesn’t happen by accident. It is the active antidote to chaos.

As Madeleine L’Engle says, "Some artists look at the world around them and see chaos, and instead of discovering cosmos, they reproduce chaos, on canvas, in music, in words. As far as I can see, the reproduction of chaos is neither art, nor is it Christian."

Choose to create something of beauty right now—in the midst of the storm—as an act of defiance. Let it be a beacon of light that rips through this present darkness with a simple message: God is present. Good will win. Hope will prevail.
