Mysteries Revealed

"But there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries."
Daniel 2:28

George Washington Carver was a chemist of international fame concerning agriculture. Much of his fame was due to research and promotion of alternative crops, such as the peanut. His hopes were that poor farmers would grow peanuts as both a source of their own food as well as a source of other products to improve their quality of life. In 1921, Carver spoke in front of the Ways and Means Committee of the United States House of Representatives. He detailed the uses of the peanut and other new crops to improve the economy of the South. At the end of his address, the chairman of the committee asked: "Dr. Carver, how did you learn all of these things?" Carver answered: "From an old book." "What book"? Carver replied: "The Bible." The Senator inquired, "Does the Bible tell about peanuts?" "No Sir," Dr. Carver replied, " but it tells about the God who made the peanut. I asked Him to show me what to do with the peanut, and He did!" This is so true in life as all the inventions, the medical breakthroughs, and the enhancements that make life better for all of us, is the wisdom that God has given people who have used this wisdom to benefit all mankind. Throughout the years we have questioned why God allows people to suffer from various diseases, but over the years God continues to reveal mysteries that cure these diseases. Even during the times of the Old Testament God was revealing mysteries, and He is still revealing mysteries to people in our society, as these mysteries let us know that He is still in control.
