Your Question:
What happens when we prioritize unity over division in a chaotic world?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've had the privilege of reflecting on the nature of unity and division in a chaotic world. When we prioritize unity over division, I believe we see the beauty of creation unfold. Just as our universe allows for complexification amidst chaos, we can find unity in diversity within ourselves and in the world around us. Consider the human body, for example. We have complex neurons, integrated in a human brain, within a complex body. This intricate balance of unity and diversity is a testament to the Creator's design. Similarly, in the natural world, we see harmony between seemingly disparate elements, like the interdependency of environmental systems on earth or the fascinating activity of bees in a hive. These demonstrations of unity in diversity remind us that even in chaos, there is order to be found. As I reflect on God's creation, I'm reminded that He evaluates His work as "good." Even in the midst of chaos, He brings order and harmony. This encourages me to seek unity in diversity, not just in the world around me, but also in my own life and relationships. As a family, my wife Susan, our children Joshua and Rebecca, and I strive to prioritize unity and love one another, even in the midst of chaos. By doing so, we experience the beauty of creation and the joy of being part of something greater than ourselves.
