Hilter will always be remembered in history for the many killings and pain he inflicted on people, especially the Jews, but how many people know what Germany would be like today if not for him?
One of the things he did which he meant for evil, was to build good transportation, which he purposed for the extension of his conquest and kingdom. This same transportation today serves well for the Germans and the international market in introducing trade beyond boundaries, to extend reliable products created by the highly skilled German in their area of expertise: science and technology.
Food for Thought
A lesson we can learn from this is that what man has intended for evil, God can use it for good. Sometimes we may see the pain while going through, and we may fail to understand why things happen the way they do, yet in time to come, we can be assured it may be meant for good. If we live our lives with this in mind, knowing that we are just a passerby on earth, intended for eternity, then we should live each day meaningfully, to fulfill our purpose here on earth, within this short span of life we have, to build what is eternal, rather than what is temporal.
Epilogue
I have just returned from Eastern Europe and had the opportunity to visit the world's largest concentration camp at Oswiecim of Krakow in Poland where the Jews and other people of various nationalities were tortured by Hilter's men during the Holocaust. The cruelty and the sight of the place brought about these thoughts which I have penned in this blog.
