George Washington Carver And God Ideas

I love this quote by George Washington Carver who is considered to be the father of the peanut industry: “When I was young, I said to God, ‘God, tell me the mystery of the universe.’ But God answered, ‘That knowledge is for me alone.’ So I said, ‘God, tell me the mystery of the peanut.’ Then God said, ‘Well George, that’s more nearly your size.’ And he told me.” Carver went on to discover hundreds of uses for the peanut. So, what’s this have to do with us? Today, my encouragement is to pray for a God idea. Far more than a good idea, a God idea can change the world. Ask Him for your “peanut idea” so to speak. You may be shocked by how much God shows you. Now that’s something to pray about!
