Miracles

It took me a while to start posting in June, but here it is. Early this week versus the Phillies a certain player stood up to bat and hit a grand slam for his first major league at bat, that player was Daniel Nava. Nava had a tough time getting to the big leagues, all his life he was told he was too small, too weak, too slow, the list goes on and on, but Nava never listened and instead took what people said about him and decided to prove them wrong. He was signed off of an amateur league by the Sox for one dollar (no kidding) to see if he would last through Spring Training, well he did. Nava didn’t let people tell him who he was and what he could do, people said he was nothing he knew he was something. I’d say that the most important player in this story is God. Philippians 4:8 says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Nava never gave up and he never gave in, I read that he plays the electric guitar in a church band and that a recent commenter (commentator?) posted that he was very strong in his faith, so I can bet that he sought strength and persistence from God before anything else. In a story that is so perfect, so Disney, you can only point to it and say “miracle” because that is the only way to describe it.
