Hold On To Faith.

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Rom. 5:1-2.

In the 1800s, George Müller ran an orphanage in Bristol, England. But not just any orphanage. This place ran without fundraisers. Without appeals. Without government support. Müller had a conviction: he wanted to prove that God still answered prayer in the modern age. So he made a vow—he would never ask anyone for money. Not once. He would tell his needs to God alone. And then he started receiving orphans. First a dozen. Then hundreds. Over time, more than 10,000 children would pass through his care. One morning, the housemother of the orphanage came to him and said, “The children are dressed and ready for school. But there’s no food for breakfast.”

Müller said, “Take them into the dining room and have them sit down.” And so, in an empty room with empty plates and no food, 300 children sat quietly. Then Müller prayed. 

Moments later, there was a knock at the door. It was the baker. “Mr. Müller,” he said, “I couldn’t sleep last night. I felt God was telling me you’d need bread this morning. So I got up early and baked three batches. Can I bring them in?” As he unloaded the bread, another knock. This time, it was the milkman. His cart had broken down right in front of the orphanage. “It’ll spoil by the time I fix the wheel,” he said. “Could the children use some fresh milk?” That morning, 300 children ate—full bellies and faith strengthened. That’s what faith that moves mountains looks like. Not just believing in God’s power, but trusting in it deeply enough to base your life on it. George Müller lived that kind of faith—and through him, thousands of children learned what it meant to trust in a Father who provides.

Do you trust in the God who provides? Trusting in the God who provides, often known as Jehovah Jireh—means relying on Him as the ultimate source of supply rather than on jobs, people, or savings. Working with Him involves active faith, stewardship, obedience to His guidance, and cultivating a generous heart, believing He meets needs according to His purpose. Trusting God does not mean inactivity; rather, it involves working diligently, knowing He multiplies efforts, much like a shepherd leads his sheep.

Honouring God with the first of your resources, even in times of lack, demonstrates trust that He is the true source. Focus on following His direction rather than worrying about daily needs, trusting He knows what is best. God may change how He provides (e.g., changing jobs), so trust Him, not the specific channel.

“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Rom. 1:17.

“For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.” Rom. 4:3-5.

DECLARATION: 

Dear Abba Father, I thank You for the gift of life and the privilege of salvation. Lord, I come before You in the Name of Jesus, asking for the grace to walk in uncommon faith. Lord, I choose to live by Your Word and not by fear or what I see. I ask for a heart that trusts You completely, even when the path ahead is unseen. Strengthen me to believe You for the impossible, knowing that You are the God of all flesh, and nothing is too hard for You. Grace me, strengthen me and empower me to love a life that is refreshing in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
