Does God Like Baseball?

Did you ever wonder about what God thinks about all the stuff we are into? The World series is about to start and that's a big deal to American sports fans. The Colorado Rockies are going to face the big bad Boston Red Sox. I know that God is not a Rockies fan or a Red Sox fan. I think He likes the Pirates because the Pirates need a miracle right now and that's God's specialty. Does God like our computers? How about American Idol? Do you think He watches? I can't wait to find out what the Lord really thinks about all the things that we do thanks to Him.

Until then I have a hunch. Whenever I get stuck trying to understand the Lord I always go back to one very important aspect of His nature. He is our father who art in heaven. God is dad of the human race. I can now understand a bit how he feels about our stuff because I'm a dad. I loved to see my kids get involved. I liked watching my boys play sports and my daughter do her dance recital and cheer leading. I got to see them use their talents and abilities. It was enjoyable. All I wanted was their love and respect while they participated in all those activities. I let my kids try a lot of things because I knew that in the trying they would find success somewhere along the line. That's the nature of fatherhood.

So, does God love Baseball? I'm not sure. I do know this. He loves the baseball players. He loves their wives and families. He loves the umpires and coaches. He loves the fans. All He wants is their love and respect. He wants acknowledged. He's not out to stifle us but He wants to be involved in everything that we do. So pull up a chair during the series. Grab yourself a beverage and some goodies and ask the Lord to come watch the game with you. Sounds silly? It's really not. I guess it doesn't sound religious and so it doesn't seem to fit. That's the problem with our thinking. God isn't into religion. He's into you! He's your Heavenly Father!
