 Character Matters
"I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing."
George spent his early years shuffled between foster homes until one day Maria Watkins, a childless washerwoman, found him asleep in her barn. But she did not just take him in; she took him to church and introduced him to Jesus. When eventually he left her home, he took with him the Bible she had given him. Maria left her mark on his life - and George Washington Carver left his mark on the world. This father of modern agriculture was a friend to three Presidents as well as Henry Ford and Gandhi. He is credited with over 300 inventions! The remarkable thing is, despite his early disadvantages this orphaned boy never became bitter or spent so much as a minute getting even. Instead, when he went into his lab each morning he prayed, "Open my eyes that I may see" (Read Psalm 119:18). How could God fail to bless someone with that attitude? Great challenge requires great maturity, so God takes the time necessary to develop our character to match the assignment. After telling Abraham, "I will make your name great," it took 25 more years of testing before God finally entrusted him with a son to establish the Jewish nation. So, if you are waiting for 'the call,' could it be that your character needs more work? That the task God has in mind for you requires a little more shaping that God wants to do on you.
