Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
I was watching the story of George Muller who started orphanages in England for street children in the 1800's. He depended totally on God for everything they needed, from the food on the table to the dozens of pairs of shoes, to the building land to build the homes. In all, he built 5 homes and housed 10,000 children. At the age of 70 he went on a missionary journey to 42 nations and preached to three million people before he died at 92.
The thing is, he started with nothing but called on God for everything. On one occasion all the children sat down to the table for breakfast but there was nothing in the cupboard to give them so he prayed and thanked God for breakfast knowing he had none to give them. A knock came on the door and there was a milkman with his cart broken down offering them his milk, a baker couldn't sleep all night for thinking about the orphans and brought baskets of bread. God provided, as always. Mr. Muller never asked people for funds and he was never in debt.
I was so encouraged by that testimony because it shows that George Muller learned he didn't have to be a miracle worker or a provider, he only needed to pray and ask God for His help.
Maybe you need a miracle, maybe you need God to provide for you, maybe you think you don't have what it takes to start a work for God, but God does. Perhaps we're part of the answer to help someone else like the baker and the milkman were, or maybe we're the one God is calling to start something.
Whichever we are, we are all able to pray, to ask, all able to come to God and say we need your help with everything Lord. What is it you want me to do or to give? Let's go and ask Him.😊
Jeremiah 33:3: “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.”
