[The following is a reprint of my post of December 3, 2015.]
The first time my friend Natalie saw the Grand Canyon she had a blinding flash of the obvious: "All that grandeur is within me." I love that, and I go there often in my mind.
I think of the Grand Canyon and, say, the Grand Coulee Dam. Both marvels...one a marvel of nature, the other a marvel of man.
Here's my blinding flash of the obvious...it took Nature thousands upon thousands of years to make the Grand Canyon, which is still a work in progress, and it has beautiful and bountiful side benefits.
It took man several years to build the likes of the Grand Coulee Dam which has daily upkeep but is essentially finished, and the unintended consequences of that and other such dams are devastating.
That's the difference between a God-driven life and a self-driven life. God's way takes longer, but the unintended consequences are beautiful and bountiful for all...any and all others.
Thank you.
