So, after a gap celebrating the Queen\u2019s Jubilee its back to \u201cGod Given Ideas\u201d from UCBs \u201cThe Word For Today\u201d written by Bob and Debbie Gass.
\nOne God-given idea can change so much. Braille sure did! In 1824, Louis Braille, a Christian, invented a system of raised dots on paper so that blind people could read. He invented 63 symbols representing every language, hence God\u2019s Word was placed into the hands of the visually impaired for the first time.
\nAnd communications? In part, you owe your mobile phone and your computer to a Christian named Samuel Morse. How different the world was before him! First-class news took two weeks to reach the USA. And reports of a major victory could take six weeks to reach Britain. One day a friend said, \u2018Morse, when you were experimenting did you ever come to an absolute deadlock, not knowing what to do?\u2019 Morse replied, \u2018More than once.\u2019 His friend asked, \u2018What did you do then?\u2019 Morse shared a secret, \u2018I got down on my knees and prayed for light, and light came, and when my inventions were acknowledged by flattering honours from America and Europe, I said, \u201cNot unto me, O Lord, not unto me, but unto Thy name give the glory.\u201d\u2019 That\u2019s why the first message sent by transatlantic cable read, \u2018What God has wrought.\u2019
\nNow add another Christian named Louis Pasteur, the French scientist who showed us that infection is the result of things we cannot see, namely germs and viruses. He introduced sterilisation methods that eventually saved the lives of multitudes. Think God has run out of good ideas? Not a chance! Ask Him for one for your life, your ministry or your business!<\/p>\n
