Unity

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Psalm 133:1

Most of us have often heard the term "there is strength in numbers ". Webster defines this as "used to say that a group of people has more influence or power than one person."

Unfortunately, though this is certainly true, many times groups can effect change which is not necessarily beneficial to all who will be affected. There's always two forces at work--good and evil. History has taught us that the concept of strength in numbers has oftentimes resulted in mob mentality and mob rule.

Thankfully, the founding fathers of this nation understood that our Constitution needed to be framed in such a way as to combat the threat of mob rule.

With that being said, let's dwell rather on this concept of strength in numbers being used as a way to effect positive changes in today's society.

There are many grassroots organizations that are working, in unity, to bring us together as a nation--as opposed to dividing us. Seek out those organizations, first of all, that strive to better the lives of veterans, children, and the less fortunate. You will find that those organizations(which effect positive changes in lives) usually have some spiritual and moral components that drive their core beliefs.

The great composer Irving Berlin penned these words many years ago referring to America...

"Stand beside her and guide her, through the night with the light from above "...

May God indeed guide us, as a nation, "through the night with the light from above ". The Psalmist told us...

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path". Psalm 119:105

As a nation, let us as brethren, dwell together in unity and seek the light from above.
