Sometimes it’s hard
to simply rest and trust that the Lord will provide what we need. I can’t
understand why since He proves faithful each and every time, but yet time and
time again, I find myself becoming worried that it gives me a headache.
Today was a day
where the worry was all consuming because I wasn’t sure how a need would be
met. After some tears (and Advil for the headache), I was reminded of this
story I had heard a long time ago about George Mueller who had had an
orphanage. As I was driving, I thanked God for what He was going to do despite
the fact that I had no idea how He was going to do it. May the next few weeks,
I continue to follow the example of George Mueller.
The children are dressed and ready
for school. But there is no food for them to eat," the housemother of the
orphanage informed George Mueller. George asked her to take the 300 children
into the dining room and have them sit at the tables. He thanked God for the
food and waited. George knew God would provide food for the children as he
always did. Within minutes, a baker knocked on the door. "Mr.
Mueller," he said, "last night I could not sleep. Somehow I knew that
you would need bread this morning. I got up and baked three batches for you. I
will bring it in."
