God has me stuck in an interesting spot. I want to share with you an email I got from a good friend - John Samuel...
George Mueller's secret....
"I saw more clearly than ever that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord.
The first thing to be concerned about was not how much I might serve the Lord, or how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished.
Now what is the food for for the inner-man? Not prayer but, the Word of God".
George Müller learned the secret of walking by the Spirit - have you?
George Mueller was a towering man of faith who cared for thousands of orphans in England in the 19th century without appealing for even a single dollar. He experienced God's provision every single time - and more importantly experienced God presence on a perpetual basis. As a missionary, George Mueller never appealed to anyone for money nor did he even make his needs known to men. He simply prayed. And Prayed. And Prayed. And the Lord provided. For such a prolific person of prayer, I find it particularly powerful that he chooses to say that food for the inner man is the Word of God. May we love the Word as much as George Mueller!
