Yesterday at our Wednesday Bible Study, we discussed George Muller, a man who took GOD at his word. Our Lord said in Matt 21:22 “And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
George never took a salary or a loan or a mortgage and yet built 5 orphanages and fed thousands of orphans. This is a story from George Muller’s journal about receiving Daily Bread.
One morning, all the plates and cups and bowls on the table were empty. There was no food in the larder and no money to buy food. The children were standing, waiting for their morning meal, when Müller said, “Children, you know we must be in time for school.” Then lifting up his hands he prayed, “Dear Father, we thank Thee for what Thou art going to give us to eat.”
There was a knock at the door. The baker stood there, and said, “Mr. Müller, I couldn’t sleep last night. Somehow I felt you didn’t have bread for breakfast, and the Lord wanted me to send you some. So I got up at 2 a.m. and baked some fresh bread, and have brought it.”
Mr. Müller thanked the baker, and no sooner had he left, when there was a second knock at the door. It was the milkman. He announced that his milk cart had broken down right in front of the orphanage, and he would like to give the children his cans of fresh milk so he could empty his wagon and repair it.
And that’s how Mr Muller’s life ran, every day, Faith that GOD would provide.
I thank Josh, our Pastor, for bringing this guy to my attention last Sunday. So, I asked our group what would it take to have that kind of faith, to trust our Lord to provide for our needs, just like it says in the Bible. I noticed a lot of far away looks for a few moments.
With faith as small as a mustard seed, the scripture says you can move mountains.
Matt 17:20
20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
First things first. Do you believe in Christ? If not, take this first step and pray to GOD, asking him for his presence in your life. That would be your first act of Faith. If you are honest with yourself and GOD, HE will lead you to more information and people that will help you.
