THE WORD GOES FORTH

by Danna Shirley
The following short story was submitted in the Creative Writing Class at Bartlett Senior Center, Bartlett, TN. The assignment was to use the random words below (or any form thereof) and write something interesting. 

Donations   God   Chair   Computer   Protection   
Scatter   Saved   Idiotic   Vacation   Help

Ever since I got saved at age 32 it has been a desire of mine to take a vacation to the Holy Land and walk where Jesus walked. It fascinates me to read the scriptures and wonder what Christians thought a hundred years ago about how God would fulfill His Word that every creature on earth would hear the Gospel and then the end would come. It has now become a reality with the computer age and the continued technology that is developed almost on a daily basis. 

Even with mankind scattered to and fro across the earth the Word cannot be hidden or silenced through the airwaves. It is protected from terrorists who can’t stop it even though they think killing Christians will kill God and His Word. 

It’s idiotic to think God can’t accomplish anything He wants to but He uses His people to do it. He plants the desire to help and we donate to the cause. And there are so many causes! Where one may have a burning in their heart to work in the Pro-Life ministry, another may be called into Evangelism or Preaching/Teaching or even Politics. 

No matter where we hang our hat or whatever chair God would have us sit on, it’s all to His glory.
