George Muller

To start I want to say that sometimes I don't know why I keep this blog. I started it as a way to keep myself journaling, an outlet for writing and honesty. But when I think of something to write or share I'm not here at my computer and when I do get here it's gone. Then there are times I just don't want to be vulnerable, or I wonder if there is a point since I don't know who/if anyone is reading this, but then should it matter if anyone is reading it and then if someone is reading I can let that dictate my thoughts and then nothing is posted for months and this blog ends up on the floor lying in a fetal position. How's that for a run on sentence?


Anywhootie, that had nothing to do with George Muller. The rest of what I share will. I just finished reading his autobiography. What faith that man had. Reading his accounts of prayer and God's faithfulness to Muller's ministry has challenged the way I think about God and more specifically prayer. Muller prayed in a way where he expected God to answer. If they needed money for bills or food, etc. he didn't pray and wonder if God would provide. He would only wonder when. He was willing to live on the edge if that meant that God could be glorified through it. He saw that kingdom work as most important in life and he lived that way. I was going to quote some favorite passages but looking back I realized I would end up copying the entire book. Go read it for yourself. I dare you to not be changed.





Another book to rock your world (read this fall/winter) ........ Crazy Love, by Francis Chan. Read it. Now.
