Your Open Word e-Devotional for May 19th,

Published: Wed, 05/19/21

Hello ,

In 1902, the poetry editor of Atlantic Monthly returned a stack of poems with this note, "Our magazine has no room for your vigorous verse." The poet was Robert Frost.

In 1905, the University of Bern turned down a doctoral dissertation as "irrelevant and fanciful." The writer of that paper was Albert Einstein.

In 1894 an English teacher noted on a teenager's report card, "A conspicuous lack of success." The student was Winston Churchill.

The scriptures are clear that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that our Creator knew us before we were formed in our mother's womb.

God doesn't make garbage, and He can bless the most common and ordinary of us with amazing opportunities to positively impact the world around us. Let's allow Him to do that today!

Have a great day and God bless!

Pastor Mike / The Open Word
