Today, we watch a documentary regarding George Muller, someone with great faith.

He manages orphanages. It may sound like a common thing to us, since there's so many orphanages around. However, he's different. Never did he once ask for any financial support nor did he mention his needs to people. Miraculously, he did not go into debt. There were times where it seems like that there won't be food for the children. However, he stands firm in his faith and waited. God provides. Sometimes, it was only hours before that the meals that food donations came in. All these stretches his faith for God.

So, how can someone become so great in faith accomplish so much?

If you do some research on the life he had led before his life change, he was a thief, liar and gambler. I believe most of us may lead a more 'holy' life as compared to him. How can he accomplish so much? or rather What caused him to change?

It was knowing the True meaning of Christianity, the despicable nature of man and the need for salvation.

He learns about religion since his was young as his father wanted him to work in the church. Sounds like a second generation Christian - like me. However during those days he still led a sinful life. So the point is not about knowing Christ, all these changes he had, have nothing to do with the amount of knowledge, but the personal relationship with God. Do you really truly believe that be it in wealth or poverty, blessing or disaster that God has his purpose? Do you trust that God provides and not you trying to use your own methods to plan for your future?

Lastly, how does he do all that?

It's because he understands God's will and purpose in his life.

How? Attitude. towards reading the bible and praying.

Seek God with a humble and meek attitude. Listens to what he wants to say and not rush through devotion like it's an obligation.

This is my challenge to myself and you, whoever that's reading this, for the week.

One lasting impression from the dvd was that even though he had to bury his wives and daughter and was alone in the world, he was not lonely.
