Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientist/mathematicians of all time, best known for discovering the Theory of Relativity. However, he was four years old before he could speak and seven before he could read. Sir Issac Newton, another great scientist/mathematician, who discovered the Law of Gravity, did poorly in grade school. A newspaper editor once fired Walt Disney because "he had no good ideas." Wernher von Braun, one of the greatest rocket scientists of all time, failed ninth-grade algebra.
We're all so different, with our own talents and interests. God created us all with unique abilities and gifts. As Christians, we must be willing to find the good in everyone. We must pray and help ourselves, as well as others, to discover all that God placed in us, to be all He intend for us to be.
Proverbs 2 : 1 - 10 said "My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
The next time you're feeling insecure, a little stupid, embarrassed, or the you're not important, read this passage again. It's full of promises of what God can do in, for, and through you.
