The Unknown Man
May 25
This poor wise man saved his city, but no man to this
day knows his name.
Its amazing how some have done some marvelous
things, yet their lives are lived in obscurity. For example, have
you ever heard of Benjamin Thompson? Probably not; yet
still his inventions have made life easier for us all.
Benjamin Thompson was born in Massachusetts in
1753 and developed an early interest in science. In 1795,
having already been knighted in England and Germany, he
became a Bavarian nobleman, giving himself the title Count
Rumford. He is credited with an invention that revolutionized
the worlds kitchen: the cookstove.
Rumford continued to experiment with ways of
enclosing stoves and with cooking equipment in the House of
Industry in Munich. There he came up with a new
Contrivance for roasting Meat, and so the roaster entered the
kitchen. The inventor also devised an improved coffee pot, a
photometer to test the intensity of various sources of light, a
calorimeter to measure the heat of various fuels, and a
portable lamp to which he gave his name. All in all, this early
expatriate achieved his self-proclaimed goal: To increase the
enjoyment and comforts of life.
Now my point is not about Benjamin Thompson or the
unknown poor wise man of Ecclesiastes 9. The point is that
many work for Christ in total obscurity and in this life will
never be known by the masses, but God knows who they are
and thats what is really important.
What to do:
Dont be discouraged. God knows who you are and
what you have done to enhance His kingdom.
