Where Your Treasure Is – George Müller

The Lord concludes: “for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matt 6:21) Where should the heart of the disciple of the Lord Jesus be, but in heaven? Our calling is a heavenly calling, our inheritance is a heavenly inheritance, and our citizenship is in heaven.

But if we believers in the Lord Jesus lay up treasures on earth, than our hearts will be on earth.

Laying up treasures in heaven will draw the heart heavenward. It brings along with it, even in this life, precious spiritual blessings as a reward of obedience to the commandment of our Lord.

Quietly, Carefully, Deliberately Examine – George Muller

At first I was able to trust the Lord for ten dollars, then for a hundred dollars, then for a thousand dollars, and now, with the greatest ease, I could trust Him for a million dollars, if there was occasion. But first, I should quietly, carefully, deliberately examine and see whether what I was trusting for, was something in accordance with His promises in His written Word.

There was a day when I died, utterly died—died to George Mueller, his opinions, preferences, tastes, and will!—died to the world, its approval or censure —died to the approval or blame even of my brethren or friend,— and since then I have studied only to show myself approved unto God.

Did all my beloved fellow disciples, who seek to work for God know the blessedness of looking truly to God alone, and trusting in Him alone, they would soon see how soul refreshing this way is, and how entirely beyond disappointment, so far as He is concerned.

If no immediate choice has to be made, one should wait. The Lord orders our stops as well as our steps. When the time comes that a decision must be made, one can proceed in the direction that seems best. As you conscientiously seek His guidance, He will not let you make a wrong choice.

My business is with all my might to serve my own generation. In doing so I shall best serve the next generation, should the Lord tarry … I have but one life to live on earth and this one life is but a brief life for sowing in comparison with eternity for reaping.

To learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings.

. . . in the whole work we desire to stand with God, and not to depend upon the favourable or unfavourable judgment of the multitude . . .
