George Muller' Faith, Helping Tens of Thousands of Children
Summary of a Sermon by George Muller, "Trust in the Lord"
We should always trust the Lord, not our understanding or experience. Consult Him first and wait for Him patiently. Christ, our wonderful counsellor, loves us and will guide us through the Holy Spirit. This has been my [George Muller’s] habit for almost 70 years, and has never brought me difficulties (Proverbs 3:5-6, Isaiah 9:6).
Never seek to be wise in your own eyes. Instead, fear God and flee from evil. Follow God first and give Him your burdens, so that you will have rest, peace, and health (Proverbs 3:7-8).
Honor God first, not wealth. Then, even our barns in this temporary life will overflow. Use your wealth to help the needy, elderly, and infirmed. God will bless us abundantly, ensuring that He owes us nothing. I have helped tens of thousands of God’s children and have experienced blessings to my soul and my temporary time here, sometimes receiving 100 times back (Proverbs 3:9-10).
God’s affliction shows God’s love for us. Don’t despise it. Don’t grow weary, even when it lasts a long time. God loves whom He disciplines (Proverbs 3:11-12).
For six years, I was busily doing God’s work, not even walking in the field. I became very weak, but His grace kept me going. By taking care of my health, I gradually recovered. Now I am happier, work more abundantly, and can warn others accordingly.
True wisdom is knowing and fearing God. Confess your sins to Christ, and trust Christ for your salvation. Through Christ, we receive forgiveness, justification, and a new life and nature; we’ll hate sin and love holiness more and more. This will bring us happiness (Proverbs 3:13-14).
Distinguish between heavenly blessings and worldly vanities. Such wisdom is far better than earthly wealth. It gives us eternal life, spiritual riches (our inheritance from Christ), and honor (sharing in Christ’s glory) (Proverbs 3:14-16).
God helped me find such wisdom, making me a happy man and guiding me on pleasant paths for 70 years.
If you don’t have peace in your soul, check to see if you have walked in the ways of wisdom, or if you have departed from them and forsaken fearing the Lord (Proverbs 3:17).
Trust God, not yourself or worldly vanities. Follow Him, and you’ll be blessed.
