George Washington Carver (c.1864 -1943), a world-renowned scientist, once said, "When I was young, I asked God to tell me the mystery of the universe. But God told me that knowledge was reserved for Him alone. So I said, 'Then tell me the mystery of the peanut.' And he told me."
What do you think is the result of George's conversation with God? He ultimately created hundreds of products from plants . . . 325 from peanuts alone. His work improved rural economies—saving land, varying crops, and creating jobs.
Dear brothers and sisters, if you are still looking for your calling and destiny, please remember the old saying "we are called to flourish where we are . . . to bloom where we are planted! "
