Numbers 23:23 (KJV)
Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is
there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of
Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought.
One day a friend of Samuel Morse, inventor of the
telegraph, said to him, "Professor, when you were making your experiments,
did you ever come to a place not knowing what to do next?"
"More than once," Morse replied, "and
whenever I could not see my way clearly, I knelt down and prayed to God for
light and understanding."
Then Morse added: "When flattering honors came to me
from American and Europe on account of my invention, I never felt I deserved
them. I had made a valuable application of electricity, not because I was
superior to another man, but solely because God, who meant it for mankind, must
reveal it to someone, and was pleased to reveal it to me."
In May, 1844, the first message to be sent over the
telegraph, dispatched by Morse himself between Washington and Baltimore, were
the words: "What hath God wrought!"
Dear Lord, Help to kneel before you and as You for the
guidance that we need. And then let us not forget to give You all the glory. In
Jesus’ Name, Amen.
