During the era when the telegraph reigned as the swiftest long-distance communication tool, a young man pursued a position as a Morse Code operator.
In response to an ad in the newspaper, he went to the office address listed. When he arrived, he entered a large, busy office filled with noise and clatter. The sound of the telegraph echoed in the background.
A sign on the receptionist’s counter instructed job applicants to fill out a form and wait until the receptionist summoned them to enter the inner office. The young man filled out his form and sat down with the seven other applicants in the waiting area.
After a few minutes, the young man stood up, crossed the room to the door of the inner office, and walked right in. Naturally the other applicants perked up, wondering what was going on. They muttered among themselves that they hadn’t heard any summons yet. They assumed that the young man who went into the office made a mistake and would be disqualified.
Within a few minutes, however, the employer escorted the young man out of the office and announced to the other applicants, “Gentlemen, thank you very much for coming, but we’ve just filled the position.”
The other applicants began grumbling to each other, and one spoke up saying, “Wait a minute, I don’t understand. He arrived last, and we didn’t even get a chance to be interviewed. Yet he got the job. That’s not fair!”
The employer said, “I’m sorry, but all the time you’ve been sitting here, the telegraph has been ticking out the following message in Morse Code: ‘If you understand this message, then come right in. The job is yours.’ None of you heard it or understood it. This young man did. The job is his.”
We live in a world that is full of busyness and clatter, like that office. People are distracted and unable to hear the still, small voice of God.
Friends, can you hear the messages from God?
