Where Two or More Stand

And we know that GOD causes everything to work together for the good of those who love GOD and are called according to his purpose for them. -Romans 8:28
This topic was chosen by my great friend Virginia Belt, who asked me to write about this in relation to community. So here it goes VB!
To me this verse is tied back to what I mention in my past blog, when I said, "I think that God has created this vast world and has scattered knowledge too and fro and in order to solve our problems we must piece together what we know in order to defeat chanllege after chanllege." This world is in trouble and is always in constant commotion, at times it seems to be completely burning down aound us. This generation has already seen a earthquake shake Chilie so hard that it has slowed the Earth's rotation, we have seen a tropical storm sink a hole in Guatemala thats 200 feet deep, we have seen a flood cover a 5th of Pakistan land and Haiti emplode on itself after the Earth shook up under it. The beautiful thing is that everything is working for the best. We stand in amazement as GOD shows us that we can stand on the edge of a hole and peer 200 ft into the world, he slowed the Earth with one quake, and then think of all the people who believe in America and Our God after we have rushed to dig through the crumbles of their life in Chilie and Haiti and have rescued them from rushing waters in Pakistan. This world is one big community, in which ever person matters. A freshman in Auburn know relatively little about Jesus, when someone gives them a blow pop on campus and tells them they have a free food at a Chrisitian minstry right down the road. That Freshman goes to grab a bite to eat meets a friend or two and now attends a bible study just to hang out with their new friends, where they hear a great sermon and decides to give their life fully to GOD. Only later to decide that they want to go to Haiti, Chilie, or anywhere to serve someone who is less fortunate. Thats the defintion of Community, everybody working equally for the Good of God, for God works through us for his good. The world is in bad shape, she's old and coming off her axis, but its the community of Generation after Generation that continues to push her forward. When Moses died Josh and Caleb dragged onward, when Jesus died the disciples pushed forward, when Bendict Arnold betrayed his country Nathanel Greene and Geroge Washington fought harder, when we meet land in Central America, Americans and Panamanians digged unitil they met the Pacific, and when 10 missonaries were excuted by the Taliban for bring medicine and God's word to the people of Afghanstan, American Soldiers spilled their blood justly. Let not our heart be trouble of the darkness that lay before us because as long as we are a Community all things will work for the Good, because this is our Gerneration and Our Chance, Let us Stand as one for it says where two or more stand in accordance God is also there! God Bless you... GOD Bless our Generation....and GOD Bless Theses Great States Of America!
