God Meets ALL of our Needs

Even after 22 plus months of living on faith and prayers, there are occasional days when I feel saddled with anxiety. When the phone doesn't ring (with business) or when something seems poised to go completely wrong, it can be a challenge and a struggle to stay on top. There are a couple places I go when I'm feeling that way. First and foremost, my Bible, where are are so many scriptures that I revisit for encouragement. Secondly, George Mueller's writings. His amazing testimonies never fail to encourage me.

We've basically followed the example of George Mueller who once made this pledge:

"Never to ask any human being for help, however great the need might be,
but to make his wants known to the God who has promised to care for
His servants and to hear their prayer."

I'm not saying that we feel it's wrong to ask men for help, but from the beginning of this journey, we have felt God assuring us that He would care for all of our needs until we were able to again provide for ourselves. I think that, for some reason, this is what He is asking of us, but that doesn't mean it is what He would ask of others. There may come a day when we find God directs us differently... but for now (or should I say, for almost 2 years!), when we've had a need, we've asked Him for help. It is an amazing exercise in faith to go to God, and God only. Many times, after we go to God in prayer, He will whisper our name and need to a believer, and that person will act in obedience and do precisely what God has told them to do. And then we have the privilege of experiencing God's amazing provision... a mini-miracle before our eyes.... we watch God meet our need exactly... and he shows us that He has again heard our prayer and that He is willing and able to meet our needs.

In the words of George Mueller:

"If the Lord fails me at this time, it will be the first time."

And, this beautiful faith-filled quote from Hudson Taylor:

"We have twenty-five cents - and all the promises of God!"
