“GEORGE
MUELLER”
This
is the George Muller (1805 -1898) that housed, fed
and clothed
many, many tens of thousands of orphans … depending entirely
upon God
and not soliciting funds from anyone.
He
wrote:
“Is
there any ground to be cast down? There are two reasons but only two…
1.
If
we are as yet unsaved, we have ground to be cast down, as we
are headed
for hell; or
2.
If we have been saved and live in sin, then we are rightly cast
down.
But
except for these two things, there is no ground to be cast down, for
all else
may be brought before God in prayer, with supplication and
thanksgiving. And
regarding all our necessities, all our difficulties, all our trials, we
may
exercise faith in the power of God, and in the love of God.
“Hope
thou in God.” (Psalm 42:5, 11; 43:5).
Oh,
remember this: There is never a time when we may not hope in God.
Whatever out
necessities, however great our difficulties, and though to all
appearance help
is impossible, yet our business is to hope in God, and it will be found
that it
is not in vain. In the Lord’s own time help will come.
Oh,
the hundreds of times, yea, the thousands of times that I have found it
thus
within the past seventy years and four months.
When
it seemed impossible that help could come, help did come; for God has
his own
resources. He is not confined. In then thousand different ways, and at
ten
thousand different times, God may help us.
Our
business is to spread our cases before the Lord, in child-like
simplicity …
to
pour out all our heart before God saying,
“I
do not deserve that Thou shouldst hear me and answer my requests, but
for the
sake of my precious Lord Jesus; for his sake answer my prayer, and give
me
grace quietly to wait till it please Thee to answer my prayer. FOR
I BELIEVE
THOU WILL DO IT IN THINE OWN TIME AND WAY.”
“For I shall yet praise him” (Psalm 42:5, 11; 43:5). More prayer, more exercise of faith, more patient waiting, and the result will be blessing, abundant blessing. Thus I have found to many hundreds of times, and therefore I continually say to myself “Hope thou in God.” George Mueller.
