Quote

Now what is food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God and here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water passes through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering it over and applying it to our hearts.

More quotes by George Muller

Image
At last I saw Christ as my Saviour. I believed in Him and gave myself to Him. The burden rolled from off me, and a great love for Christ filled my soul. That was more than fifty years ago. I loved Jesus Christ then, but I loved Him more the year after, and more the year after that, and more every year since.

Image
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 Muller
Image
In the greatest difficulties, in the heaviest trials, in the deepest poverty and necessities, He has never failed me but because I was enabled by His grace to trust Him He has always appeared for my help. I delight in speaking well of His name.
George Muller
Image
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 Muller
Image
Intimate knowledge of God is possible if we habitually search His Holy Scriptures & translate what we find into obedience.
George Muller
Image
The province of faith begins where probabilities cease and sight and sense fail.
George Muller
Image
The greater the difficulty to be overcome, the more will it be seen to the glory of God how much can be done by prayer and faith.
George Muller
Image
Be assured that Christianity is something more than forms and creeds and ceremonies: there is life, and power, and reality, in our holy faith.

Image
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.

Where faith begins, anxiety ends where anxiety begins, faith end.

Image
God delights to increase the faith of His children. We ought, instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for patience, to be willing to take them from God's hands as a means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith.
George Muller
Image
I desire many things concerning myself but I desire nothing so much, as to have a heart filled with love to the Lord. I long for a warm personal attachment to Him.
George Muller
Image
Every instance of obedience, from right motives, strengthens us spiritually, whilst every act of disobedience weakens us.
George Muller
Image
There was a day when I died died to self, my opinions, preferences, tastes and will died to the world, its approval or censure died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friends and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God.
George Muller
Image
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 Muller
Image
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 Muller
Image
Our heavenly Father never takes anything from his children unless he means to give them something better.
George Muller
Image
The Lord Jesus, everything. In himself worse than nothing. By grace, in Christ, the son of the King.
George Muller
Image
A servant of God has but one Master. It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honored in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised.
George Muller
Image
If we desire our faith to be strengthened, we should not shrink from opportunities where our faith may be tried, and therefore, through trial, be strengthened.
