The answer to a question from Donald Ray Harmon

Minister Chester D KingThe answer to your question can be found in : Proverbs 30th chapter ; 24th thur 28th verse  . May I share with you  , the lesson of the locust seems to be that  God  1 . ) never intended for us to work alone  , and  2  . ) we can accomplish much by working together  . After the creation of Adam God knew it wasn't good that man should be alone  , " ( Gen . 2nd chapter : 18th verse ) so Eve was delivered to provide Adam with help and assistance  . This same principle of  " joint effort " is described again in Ecclesiastes the 4th chapter and 9th verse  . The writer tells us that  "two are better than one   ; because they have a good reward for their labor " .  In other words  , there is strength in numbers  . The modern world refers to this phenomenon as  " synergy  " which is best expressed in the following equation  :  1+1+1=4  .With synergy  , the sum of the parts are greater than the individual parts alone  . The importance of working together  , of emulating the locusts  , is clearly seen in Christ's establishment of the church which is  : " fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth  , according to the effectual working in the measure of every part  , maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love  ." Eph. 4th chapter and 16th verse   . The lesson " Christian everywhere can learn from the lowly locust is this   : if we  " pull together  " then we can change the world  !  Donald  , here's a bit of fyi . another definition of the word   (  group  ) by Merrian -Webster  : a number of people or things that are together or in the same place  . Maybe this will help you to not be confused  .  Signed a child of the King  👑 .
