Peanut-Sized Prayer

 Peanut-sized Prayer - George Washington Carver

    Lately I’ve been reading about prayer.  What has been wonderful is that the direction of the author I’ve read is not primarily a theological treatise on prayer.  It has been more of the practical work of walking with and seeking God.  The reading I did today touched on the life of George Washington Carver.  Carver did not have an easy life.  He was born toward the end of the Civil War to a family of slaves on the Moses Carver farm.  He, his sister, and mother were kidnapped by the Kentucky night raiders.  George was rescued and returned to the Carvers who raised him and his brother James.  George lived in a deeply segregated south where it was very difficult for a black child to receive an education.  Yet through perseverance He not only graduated from high school, but also graduated from what is now known as Iowa State University.  He studied botany there as their first black student, and eventually became their first black faculty member.  His thirst for learning eventually led him to receive a Master’s degree in botany where he became well-known for his work in plant pathology and mycology.  After receiving his Master’s degree he joined Booker T. Washington at what would become Tuskegee University in Alabama.

    There was another side to Carver.  He was a very godly man who know the Lord.  At age 10 he had the following conversation with his foster father when he asked him about grapes.

“Why are grapes purple?” George asked.
“Nobody knows.” his foster father replied.
“Does God know?” George asked.
“Of course he does.”
“Then I’ll ask him,” George responded, and left the room.
That was the simple faith of George Washington Carver.  His foster father was amazed.  He said, "George shouldn’t talk that way.  He sounded as if he were going to meet God out there – around the house.”

    Fortunately for him - and for us - George didn’t think that way.  He developed a lifestyle of prayer that stayed with him throughout his entire life.  Those who knew him said he would rise at 4 or 5 a.m and pray to start his day.  And George kept on praying like he could go around the house and meet God.

    Alabama and the surrounding southern states were experiencing hard times because they were farming the ground too hard.  Dr. Carver taught farmers how to rotate crops.  He introduced planting peanuts as an alternative crop to help with this problem.  The only difficulty was that there was not a market for all the peanuts that were grown.  Dr. Carver began praying about this.  One of his favorite Bible verses was from the book of Job.

But ask the animal, and they will teach you,
Or the birds of the sky and they will tell you;
Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
Or let the fish in the sea inform you.

He was certain that if he prayed and sought God, that God would give him wisdom to develop ways to use the peanut.  In his own wonderfully humble words Dr. Carver related his conversation with God.

I asked God, “Why did you make the universe, Lord?
“Ask for something more in proportion to that little mind of yours,” God replied.
“Why did you make the earth, Lord?”  I asked.
“Your little mind still wants to know far too much.  ask for something more in proportion to that little mind of yours,” replied God.
“Why did you make man, Lord?” I asked.
“Far too much. Far too much. Ask again.” replied God.
“Explain to me why you made plants, Lord?”  I asked.
“Your little mind still wants to know far too much,” the Lord replied.
“The peanut?”  I asked meekly.
“Yes! For your modest proportions, I will grant you the master of the peanut.  Take it inside your laboratory and separate it into water, fats, oils, gums, resins, sugars, starches, and amino acids.  Then recombine these under my three laws of compatibility, temperature, and pressure.  Then you will know why I made the peanut.” God said.

    God was true to His promise, and Dr. Carver was true to his work.  He eventually found 300 uses for the peanut.  The “National Peanut Board” reported that Dr. Carver’s labors revealed that food products from peanuts involved such things as peanut lemon punch, chili sauce, caramel, peanut sausage, mayonnaise and coffee. Then he experimented and learned that cosmetics could be derived from peanuts.  The cosmetics included face powder, shampoo, shaving cream and hand lotion.  Not satisfied there he also learned that insecticides, glue, charcoal, rubber, nitroglycerine, plastics and axle grease were a few of the many valuable products derived from peanuts.  Peanuts, once a non-cash crop, by 1938 became a $200 million industry and one of the chief products of Alabama.

    One of my favorite stories about Dr. Carver is when he was allowed to testify before the House Ways and Means Committee on behalf of the United Peanut Association of America.  He was informed by chairman Joseph Fordney that he would receive 10 minutes to testify.  Dr. Carver enthralled the committee for an hour and 45 minutes about all that God had taught him about the lowly peanut.  He spoke of  shaving cream and soap, of cosmetics and wood stains, of glue and linoleum.  He even shared with the committee about Worcestershire sauce!  When he finished, chairman Fordney told Dr. Carver he could come back whenever he wanted and have as much time as he wanted.

    All this from one humble man who turned to God for help about how he could use the little ole peanut.  This godly man, who turned to the Lord early each morning, was willing to listen to God as He spoke through the earth and the plants to teach him.  And what a glorious set of lessons God gave him.  Dr. Carver didn’t seek patents for all of his ideas.  He simply said if God gave them to him, he wanted to give them freely to others.  Oh, and by the way, he also learned from the glamorous sweet potato as well, sharing over 100 different uses for it as well.

    Dr. Carver faced a huge, God-sized problem.  He had a multitude of peanuts - but no real profitable use for them.  Dr. Carver knew from a lifetime of walking with and praying to God - that God had a wonderful answer if he would just seek God.

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and mighty things which you do not know.”  Jeremiah 33:3, NASB


    Dr. Carver called.  God answered and told him.  Dr. Carver then used every last ounce of his learning and ability to follow God.  Amazing things happened.  Kind of astounding what the peanut-sized prayers of a godly man produced?  So - what is it that you need to take to God and humbly ask for His help with today?

Rabshakeh, Sennacherib and Getting Fitted for Nose Rings and Bridles - 2 Kings 19

3/14/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
Today in our reading for “The Disciple’s Journey” we read from 2 Kings 19 about the invasion of Judah by Rabshakeh for Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.  When he came to Jerusalem, Rabshakeh decided to mock and deride not only Judah, but also Hezekiah and his strong faith in Jehovah.  That was a very serious mistake. 
 
Hezekiah showed wisdom in not responding to the Assyrian leader when he spoke blasphemously against God.  He instead went with the letter into the presence of God and prayed with great sorrow and grief about how God was dishonored by this arrogant official of Assyria.  He spoke of God’s sovereignty and power – and how that was denigrated by the words which Rabshakeh spoke.  Then God spoke on the matter.  The words which God said were truly terrifying when you consider what happened shortly after God spoke them through His prophet Isaiah.
 
'But I know your sitting down,
And your going out and your coming in,
And your raging against Me.
'Because of your raging against Me,
And because your arrogance has come up to My ears,
Therefore I will put My hook in your nose,
And My bridle in your lips,
And I will turn you back by the way which you came.
2 Kings 19:27-28
 
Those are sobering words for God to speak.  In them God makes it clear that He is both omniscient and omnipotent.  He is omniscient for He knows the sitting, the coming, the going, and the raging of the king of Assryia.  Nothing has escaped God’s notice.  He has seen the dishonor and disrespect of this ungodly king and his general.  Before the night is over – 185,000 of his men – actually according to Chronicles – the entire leadership of the army (for those killed were all the officers of the army of Assyria) was killed.  They awoke to see their entire officer corps become their officer corpses.  They did the only thing they could do – turn and go home just as God’s prophet declared.  And awaiting this arrogant king was a judgment of his own.  He too was killed due to a plot against him within his own house – again – just as God said.  
 
God’s description of how He will deal with this arrogant general and king are very clear.  God is about to put a hook in the nose of these arrogant men.  The kind of hook here is a piece of metal that was driven through the nose and then attached to a chain by which the prisoner was led around.  Since we live in a day when a nose ring is often seen as a piece of jewelry - it might be wise to think of this ring in terms of what they put into the nose of a cow to lead it about when it is particularly unruly.  God also promised a bridle in the lips.  This was a piece of wood or steel that was usually put in the mouth of horses and attached to reins by which the master could turn the head and direction of the animal quickly.  To resist the bridle was very painful.  So this proud king and general who would do whatever they wanted – even to God’s people – were about to be led about with a hook through the nose and a bridle in their proud mouths.  One would have to admit this was a very humbling way to be led about.  Yet it is a warning to all who would dare think they will run their lives however they want – and God has no control over them.  His lack of immediate action is mercy – and the arrogant would be wise to see such kindness by God as a call to repentance and not as a vote for them to continue in their rebellion.
 
Far too often the rulers of this world think they can rebel against God and do anything they want.  Yet it is here – and also in Psalm 2 – and in Psalm 75 that we read of the “real facts.”  God is King and God is Judge.  He is the One Who knows all – and who has the power in His omnipotence to act in keeping with His righteousness and holiness.  For those of us in power – not only over entire nations, but also when we are foolish enough to think we have power over our own lives – this is something to remember – and honestly – to tremble about as we consider our own arrogant statements of what “we will do with our own lives.” 
 
There is One God – One Creator – One Owner – and One Judge over all.  Jehovah is that One, and it would be wise for us to remember that whenever we wrongly think we are sovereign and can do whatever we want.

​Advice for Evangelicals after the Election of Trump as President of the United States

11/9/2016

2 Comments

              Today is November 9th, one day after an election where Donald Trump was elected president of the United States.  It is also a fact that he is president in large measure because he received over 80% of the Evangelical vote.  Since I was one of those who went through the agony of eventually voting for our president-elect, I also feel very qualified to offer the following article on the other side of the election.
 
                 Voting for Mr. Trump was one of the most difficult and excruciating things I’ve ever done.  In the end I did so primarily due to one issue – abortion.  After watching former Secretary of State Clinton coolly and confidently support abortion up until the last minute before a child is born, while also stating that an unborn child has no rights whatsoever – that was the turning point for me.  There was no sense of anything in her except great pride that we do this in America.  Because Mr. Trump had made it clear that he would oppose abortion (albeit with a promise – not exactly the most trustworthy currency in an election) I chose to vote for him.  I did so without a sense of great pride in my vote – without any kind of bravado – I simply did it to protect the unborn. Having said this – and having read far too many facebook posts from both sides that broke my heart after the election – I want to offer unsolicited advice to those who are evangelicals who voted for president-elect Trump. 
  
                 President-elect Trump needs our prayers (as does President Obama) as he faces the presidency.  First and foremost, it is my opinion, based upon his actions and words, that we need to pray for this man’s salvation.  I was never under any deception that he was or is a Christian – regardless of what the President of Liberty University says.  This man needs to repent of sin and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior – period.  By the way, if that statement offends you, I believe all men and women need to repent and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  If you are a “true evangelical” then this is THE issue for us ultimately – is he (or anyone else for that matter) someone who has come to understand that he is a sinner by choice and by nature – has come to understand that Jesus is the God-man who came and paid for sin by His death, burial, and resurrection – and has come to repentance over his sin and now has put his faith in Jesus Christ to pay for his sin and make him acceptable to God. 
 
          President-elect Trump also needs our prayers to govern wisely as the chief executive and commander in chief over our armed forces.  Ask anyone who has ever held this office, there is tremendous pressure and responsibility associated with it.  And take it from someone who is only a father and pastor of a local church – the more authority you have – the greater the damage you can do by making unwise and ungodly decisions.  My unwise choices affect the 14 people in my family – and at least 175-200 people who attend the fellowship I am honored to serve.    Things like pride, ego, marital infidelity, foul language, caustic comments, and perverse treatment of women, are unwise and ungodly from a biblical perspective. Sorry if this offends you but I am a pastor who is responsible to teach God’s Word – and advance a godly and righteous lifestyle.  We can support him in some ways – but we need to be clear that these actions and attitudes are unacceptable.    Should we show our president-elect grace and love?  Absolutely.  But can we afford as evangelicals to just gloss over the clear elephant in the room when it comes to his character and ungodliness?  If we do – we will lose the moral authority to speak to our society – especially those who opposed him in the election who need the gospel so badly.
 
                   President-elect Trump – and our nation – need our prayers for healing and unity.  Only  someone who has lived under a rock for the last year and a half is unaware of the incredible rift that there is in our nation.  He is not responsible alone for this rift – but this past election cycle only made us aware of how wide it is.  I am painfully aware that much of this rift is due to vastly divergent worldviews.  Both sides of this divide view the moral stances of the other as moral bankruptcy.  He will face deep divides that will require wisdom, patience, and understanding to even begin to address.  As an evangelical there are issues within our nation where I have to take a stand that is unpopular – very unpopular with those who oppose it.  There are moral issues – issues about sexuality – issues about justice – issues about racism – issues about abortion and crisis pregnancies – issues about how to help those in financial need – so many issues that even trying to list them makes my head swim.  What makes it worse is that currently any discourse about them has become so incendiary that basic communication (where we respect one another) seems almost impossible.  We so quickly descend into sound bytes and insults at the drop of a hat.  Oh how we need to move away from listening to the talking heads and talk radio and actually listen to one another once again.  The rhetoric of the election has left us all battered and worn out emotionally.  Pray that our President – and our president-elect can begin to heal the fractures – rather than make them worse. 
 
            One final word though to those of us who are evangelicals – and it is a word of great warning.  If we choose to swagger through the next several months before and after the inauguration we are going to see the gospel itself face a terrible backlash.  If we act as if Mr. Trump has great moral authority after what we’ve learned about how he treats women and his own marriage – we will alienate a large group of women who need to hear the gospel.  They will see our joy over his election as an endorsement of his immoral actions – and will turn a deaf ear to the message of the gospel.  If we act as if it wasn’t a problem that he didn’t distance himself from the KKK and other white supremacist groups with the strongest words possible – we will alienate many in the black community.  They will see our joy in his election as an affirmation of what they already see as systemic racism and will turn a deaf ear to the gospel.  If we act as if Mr. Trump’s bravado and pride – and the many morally questionable insults toward his opponents – should be seen as just politics as normal – we should not be surprised to see a rejection of our gospel as if it is associated with such insults.  If we don’t at least attempt to see the political discourse toned down from its new lows in foul language that should offend people’s sensibilities - too many will deduce that we have come to endorse of this kind of talk.  They will mock us when we say that the Bible teaches us to reject “corrupt communication from our mouths.”  They will see such statements as just another way we’ve embraced hypocrisy as Christians.  This will, in turn, justify in their minds turning a similar deaf ear to whatever else we have to say about salvation and the gospel.  I’ve already seen too many posts by those on the other side of the political divide who are saying that if Trump represents evangelicalism – they are done with it. 
 
              Be careful precious saints of God – and be wise in the days ahead.  Our attitudes and our demeanor can do much to either advance the gospel or turn people off to it.  May God give us wisdom, especially in these days to prove ourselves true sons of God – who embrace both truth and our role to be peacemakers.  THE most important thing is that we, as evangelicals, see that what our nation needs most is the grace of God in the gospel of Jesus Christ.  These are the only things that will bring about the much-needed revival in the church and the even more-needed spiritual awakening among the lost.  So that these things may come to our nation may God give us grace to be men and women wise enough to navigate such a time as this.
