“It often astonishes me that I did not see the importance of meditation upon Scripture earlier in my Christian life. As the outward man is not fit for work for any length of time unless he eats, so it is with the inner man. What is the food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God -not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water runs through a pipe. No, we must consider what we read, ponder over it, and apply it to our hearts.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“It is true that the faith, which I am enabled to exercise, is altogether God’s own gift; it is true that He alone supports it, and that He alone can increase it; it is true that, moment by moment, I depend upon Him for it, and that, if I were only one moment left to myself, my faith would utterly fail…”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“If we say we trust in Him, but in reality do not, then God, taking us at our word, lets us see that we do not really confide in Him, and hence failure arises.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“God is pleased continually to vary His mode of dealing with us, in order that we may not be tempted to trust in donors, or in circumstances, but in Him alone, and to keep our eye fixed upon Him.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“Often the work of the Lord itself may be a temptation to keep us from that communion with Him which is so essential to the benefit of our own souls.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“Oh this is reality, not a fable, that the Lord Jesus Christ is our friend. And we should not be satisfied until we are brought to this.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“It is a common temptation of Satan to make us give up the reading of the Word and prayer when our enjoyment is gone; as if it were of no use to read the Scriptures when we do not enjoy them, and as if it were no use to pray when we have no spirit of prayer.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“God judges what we give by what we keep.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“Money is really worth no more than as it can be used to accomplish the Lord’s work. Life is worth as much as it is spent for the Lord’s service.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)

“As a warning to parents, I mention that my father preferred me to my brother, which was very injurious to both of us. To me, as tending to produce in my mind a feeling of self-elevation; and to my brother, by creating in him a dislike both towards my father and me.”

George Mueller (Evangelist, 1805 – 1898)
