On a December day back in 1903 at Kitty Hawk in North Carolina, Orville and Wilbur Wright, after numerous failures to fly a heavier-than-air machine made amazing history. They achieved something that no man had ever done before. Ecstatic, they sent a telegram to their sister Katherine: "We have actually flown 852 feet. Will be home for Christmas." Overjoyed, Katherine ran down to the local newspaper and pushed the telegram the greatest news story of the new century into the hand of the editor. After reading it he smiled and said, "Well, well! How nice the boys will be home for Christmas." I wonder how often we miss the point when God is doing a work among us. The religious people of Christ's day who were actually anticipating his coming as their Messiah failed totally to recognize him and ironically had him crucified because he didn't come and didn't operate in the way they expected him to. And I wonder how often I miss the point, too, when I pray for God to bless my plans and what I'm doing rather than asking him what His will for my life is and getting involved in what He wants me to be doing.
