Few things in the world make me
aware of the grandeur and magnificence of God’s creation like going to a
professional sporting event. This
weekend we went with some of our extended family to a baseball game. I don’t
very often go to games. As a
matter of fact, I don’t watch games on TV, so I am not sure if AT&T is a
large park, or a small one. But I
do know that it is amazing.
I ponder the amount of people that
had to be before this park could come into existence. I imagine the engineers who designed it. They had to go to school, where they
learned techniques and mathematical equations that had been developed for
hundreds of years. I envision the
computer programmers and hardware manufacturers that built the computer and
wrote the program on which the plans for the park were made. I picture the excavating crew and the
machines that were required to dig out the dirt, rock, and clay before the
foundation could be laid; the steelworkers and masons whose skills would hold
the whole thing together. I smell
the food and see the grass and the infield. I watch as hundreds of people work diligently to ensure that
this little corner of the world is as pristine and beautiful as it can be. And as I gaze at what took thousands of
people and hundreds of years of architectural know-how I am reminded of a
simple, Biblical truth. Psalm 33:9 “For he spoke, and it came to be; he
commanded, and it stood firm.”
