Nietzsche was, in my estimation, one of those brilliant atheists endowed with an extra dose of common grace. He once wrote in “Towards the Ubermensch,” that “One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.” Nietzsche understood that from within comes the issues of life.
What are we birthing? Are our ideas and actions a result of an uncontrolled chaos or a chaos under the control of the Spirit? The control of the Spirit causes us to journey from grace to grace, which then makes us into grace factories and not idol factories. Our idols within are challenged today the same way it was in Genesis one. Chaos is challenged by light. Light-givers confront the darkness. Nietzche’s dancing star was dim. We are the ones who can produce bright dancing stars. May our God shine upon us and may we praise him with dance (Ps. 150:4).
