CALLING OUT TO

GOD

PSALM 18:6

6 In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help.From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.

PROVERBS 2:1 -6

1 My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, 2 turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding—

PROVERBS 2:1 -6

3 indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, 4 and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

PROVERBS 2:1 -6

6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

JAMES 1:5

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

“On May 15, 1618, it came to him in a flash: The squares of the periods of revolution are to each other as the cubes of the mean distances from the sun. He felt exuberant and fancied that he had been given a morsel of heavenly knowledge that had, up until now, been denied to man.

JOHANNES KEPLER (1571–1630) FATHER OF MODERN ASTROMONY

‘I feel carried away and possessed by an unutterable rapture over the divine spectacle of the heavenly harmony.’”

JOHANNES KEPLER (1571–1630) FATHER OF MODERN ASTROMONY

“More than once, and whenever I could not see my way clearly, I knelt down and prayed to God for light and understanding…I have made a valuable application of electricity not because I was superior to other men but solely because God, who meant it for mankind, must reveal it to someone and He was pleased to reveal it to me.”

SAMUEL F. B. MORSE (1791 -1872) INVENTOR AND PAINTER

“When I was young, I said to God, ‘God, tell me the mystery of the universe.’ But God answered, ‘That knowledge is reserved for me alone.’ So I said, ‘God, tell me the mystery of the peanut.’ Then God said, ‘Well, George, that’s more nearly your size.’

And he told me.”
