A story is told of Tonto and the Lone
Ranger riding through a canyon one afternoon. All of a sudden, both sides were
filled with American Indian warriors on horses, dressed for battle and shouting
loudly. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and asked, “What are we going to do?” Tonto
replied, “What do you mean, ‘we’, kemosabe?” It’s amazing how when times get
tough and we encounter adversity, one of the first things to be sacrificed is
unity. And when we think about the challenges facing Christians today, many of
these things are sadly dividing brothers and sisters in Christ when we need to
be united more than ever. Christian unity in the face of adversity, however,
isn’t some unattainable concept. In fact, when we as believers in Christ
maintain our commitment to the truth of Scripture and to the fellowship of the
Spirit, unity just seems to happen. When challenges come, we as the body of
Christ must face them together. So stay committed to biblical truth. Reaffirm
your devotion to one another in the Spirit. When you make those things your
priorities, adversity will bring you together instead of tearing you apart!
Amen
