Electrical Poles

I was once listening to a radio interview with an inventor. The man being interviewed didn't like being labeled an inventor. Instead, he prefered to be called a discoverer.

The reason? He believed that God invented everything before the beginning of time and just allowed us humans to discover them when God felt the time was appropriate.

This got me thinking. God invented electricity, but waited thousands of years before letting us discover it. God knew that we would need a means to efficiently transport that electricity. Therefore, long before He gave us electricity, He gave us a way to efficiently transport it--trees.

Trees make excellent electrical poles. They are tall, straight, sturdy, and abundant. Best of all, trees do not conduct electricity. This is incredible, given the fact that the majority of living things do conduct electricity. God made an exception with trees, because he knew they would be needed later for holding those wires. How's that for long-range planning!

Also, God knew that birds would be attracted to those wires carried by the tree poles, so in His love He made bird feet to not conduct electricity, either.

If God can prepare trees well in advance for electricity, just think of all the other details he prepares in advance for people.
