"If we are to win, we must be able to operate in a disorderly environment. In fact, we must not only be able to fight effectively in the face of disorder, we should seek to generate disorder and use it as a weapon against our opponent." — MCDP 1: Warfighting
We cannot embrace a doctrine of eliminating every danger or disorder. It is not possible. Danger and disorder are inescapable. Since we live in a world infused with enmity by the design of God, (Gen 3:15) we must accept the fact of danger and disorder. We must resolve ourselves to endure that which our enemy attempts to impose upon us and we must repent of that which we experience as a result of being out of step with the will of God. Because we are not sovereign, decisions will be made which wreck our plans or make our lives less secure than if we were driving things.
As Christians, we accept God's designs by faith and walk in them, repenting of our sin and inflicting damage on the enemy as we walk ahead. Someone is going to experience disorder. May it be that God's enemies experience it in increasing measures to the extent that it converts some enemies to allies and crushes the remaining ones who continue to hold out.
