Thoughts: Who gives us power to run fast or jump high? Who gives us strength to go beyond our own might? The Olympics are almost a way that we rejoice in human ability to do things. We stand amazed at how fast we can run- but the antelope and cheetah make us look slow. We are amazed at a six foot four inch jump, but the antelope and kangaroo make that seem minuscule. Our great weightlifters cannot compare to the elephant's ability. The best human swimmers pale compared to a seal, otter or dolphin. The highest divers seem slight compared to the eagle's or osprey's dash into the water from its height to get a fish. Yet, it is still interesting to measure how fast, how high, how long we can go. Thirty million+ watched the opening ceremonies.
All our ability- is given by the design and plan of God. We can come together to celebrate human ability- but really we are celebrating something that God gave us and that we fine tune with exercise, diet, practice, determination and prayer.
