Is chaos a part of God's creation? why did He allow chaos to happen?

Quote:
1 Corinthians 14:29-33 (NIV)

29 Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. 30 And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. 31 For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. 32 The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. 33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all the congregations of the Lord’s people.


When his creations disobey, we get chaos/disorder. When his creations obey, we stay at "functioning as intended", in peace/harmony/order. He gave us commands to prevent chaos; there would be no disorder if we constantly obeyed. I guess the real question is, "why does he let us disobey"? Those are the moments we realize he was right. Things go wrong, we experience hurt and negative consequences from the actions we took, so we repent to the advice he originally gave.

Those who don't repent are beyond salvaging; they love their sinful natures more than Him. Now there's no excuse because he offers to enable "obedience" in us if we ask, he'll work through us (so we can't boast); our obedience and changed characters are his workmanship. But our consent is needed. (Eze 36:27, Php 2:13, Eph 2:8-10, Lk 11:13)
