"And we know that God causes everything to work together[a] for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
It's day 828 for Purposed worKING and a perfect day to write about cogs and gears. One of the Oscar nominated movies for best picture is the movie, Hugo. If you have not seen it, you should. It takes place in a train station and most of it inside of the tower that holds the gears and cogs of the train station clock, Among many things that we learn in this movie, we learn that the intricacy and precision that goes into ensuring that cogs and gears work in synchronization is in itself an art. The same can be said for how organizations work. The gears and cogs must mesh and synchronize otherwise there is organizational dysfunction and chaos. Those who go to school to manage and lead are granted bachelors or masters in science, but in reality, we still know it is an art to make organizations work well.
Being that today is day 828 then it is only appropriate that we turn to Romans 8:28 to see how God makes the cogs and gears of our world work together. God tells us that all things work together for the good for those who love the Lord and work towards His purpose. If we zoom out and think about our life, our work, who we are, as being one of the cogs, or one of the gears in God's perfect Kingdom, then we can understand why He wants and needs us to synchronize to His will. We are His work of art and we are to play our part in the good that He has brought the world. As we do our work that we are called to do, let's be sure that bringing glory to Him by using our time, talent and treasures to His purpose becomes a cog and gear that He can work with perectly!
