Promises From God

Several years ago I had the privilege of visiting the homes of George Muller in Bristol. I had seen pictures of the homes but nothing prepared me for the enormity of those buildings. This man knew need for he had children to feed and clothe daily. In total, God supplied that which was needed to feed and clothe 120,000 children. Yet more He knew the bountiful supplying of God and that which he received without ever asking for anything in todays money would be well over 130,000,000.00 dollars! But you say that was a special case. Then allow a personal testimony.

My wife and I lived for many years at, or below, the poverty line. By the time we paid rent, ofttimes there was little left. I had a son-in-law who was a builder. He told us that if we could get enough for a deposit he would build us a house for cost. It became a matter of prayer. Then one day a company I had worked for ten years earlier, phoned to say that if I worked there for three weeks I would get 50,000.00 dollars. I did the work and my son in law built us a lovely home. When doubting God’s goodness or ability to provide, then recall He is just as wealthy today in resources as He was to Israel, George Muller, or any one of us.

The following are some of God’s promises for our every need, especially when we question the goodness of God in provision.
