Text: “The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11) S ome people achieved great heights earlier in life than others but it should not cause inferiority complex. All human beings are not endowed equally with abilities or intelligence, but all can achieve their God given potentials. An Indian boy, Tathagat A. Tulsi, a physicist, finished high school at age 9, BSc at age 10, MSc at age 12 and PhD at age 21. He is a genius, an early starter. Winston Churchill, a late bloomer, failed three times in high school, but became a great historian and successful Prime Minister of Britain. Whether you have an exceptional high IQ or an average one, God did not create you in vain. You are his child, and you are for signs and wonders. Many great achievements made in the world came from men and women, who worked diligently and perseveringly; it was not just being early starters. According to Thomas Alva Edison, “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety- nine per cent perspiration.” You have your area of genius which you should prayerfully discover, cultivate and use for service to God and humanity. Challenge: All fingers are not equal but all are useful. Prayer: Oh God, with my potentials, let me excel. Further Reading: Ecclesiastes 10:10
