Yahweh takes care of you!
Posted by Lev/Christopher on April 23, 2009 at 3:00am in Inspirations / Devotionals
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
One of my favorite and most admired men of faith is a man named George Müller. George Müller (1805-1898) did many great works for Yahweh in his lifetime, among them building several orphanages.
The following is a great story he told:
It was time for breakfast at of one of my orphanages in England and there was no food. Not only was there no food in the kitchen, but there was no money in the home's account. A young girl whose father was a close friend of mine was visiting the home. I took her hand and said, "Come and see what our Father will do." In the dining room, long tables were set with empty plates and empty mugs. We sat down at the table with the others and and I prayed, "Dear Father, we thank Thee for what Thou art going to give us to eat."
At once, we heard a knock at the door. There stood the local baker. "Mr. Müller," he said, "I couldn't sleep last night. Somehow, I felt you had no bread for breakfast, so I got up at 2 o'clock this morning and baked you some fresh bread. Here it is." Müller thanked him and gave praise to Yahweh. Soon afterward, a second knock came. It was the milkman. His cart had broken down in front of the orphanage. There was no way to move and repair the cart except to empty it of the milk he needed to still deliver so he asked me if we could use his milk. We had a wonderful breakfast that morning.
Faith was the pinnacle of George Müller's life. Without a personal salary, he relied only on Yahweh to supply the money and food he needed to support the hundreds of homeless children he befriended in the name of Messiah. A man of radiant faith, he kept a motto on his desk for many years that brought comfort, strength, and uplifting confidence to his heart. It read, 'It matters to Him about you.' Müller believed that those words captured the meaning of 1 Peter 5:7, and he rested his claim for divine help on that truth. He testified at the end of his life that Yahweh had never failed to supply all his needs.
Remember that Yahweh is concerned with our every need! Cast your cares upon Him today.
