Movies,Telephone Poles and Football

You may be wondering about this article's title and how these three things are related. Here's the answer. They all came from the Lord. Yep! Everything good and wonderful comes from Him. Why do we love movies so much? Well, maybe it's because we all love a good story. The whole idea of story telling originated a long time ago. Jesus loved to tell stories. He taught with stories and parables. He lived a storied life and so do we. Life is our story. Movies are a by-product of the image of God that is deeply imprinted in every human being. Every person from every culture loves a good story. Movies are just a hi-tech way of telling a story and it all started with God.

Telephone poles were built to carry lines of wires for miles and miles so that we could communicate with each other from a distance. Our desire to communicate is from God. We love friendship and family and there is an inbred need to communicate with them. Telephone poles are another by-product of the creativity given to us by the Lord to keep us in close contact. We think that we have done all this and on the practical side that might be true but the driving force behind our desire to communicate is the Lord.

Football is not important to the Lord but the relationships and teamwork that is displayed in this sport came from God. I'm sure that God is more excited about the players encouraging each other and building strong relational commitments. The binding together of love and commitment are deep from the heart of God.

As you can see in these few examples, all that we have built and created that is good came from the motivations and talents that God gave to us. He wanted our talents and abilities to reflect things that were important to Him. Stories,communication and commitment in relationships are all important to God and so movies,telephone poles, and football are all a result of the goodness of God.

Thank You Lord!
