A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body, but envy, jealousy, and wrath are like rottenness of the bones. Proverbs 14:30 AMP
The first two keys to the amazing life of George Mueller were: First, to not offend God and man and to now be offended. Second to feed on the Word of God for every issue in life.
Today’s is, the Happiness he felt in God and his work which relieved him of full anxiety and wear and tear in his labors. He found his joy and happiness in God Himself. He enjoyed his relationship with God seeing Him as His Father. Someone he could walk with and talk with. Someone who he truly believed loved him so much that no matter what came into his life good or bad was because his Father would always turn the bad into something good in the long run. Upon the death of his first wife, he embraced Psalm 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. Since God deosn’t withhold anything good from those who walk with Him, and He turns that which is evil into something good (Gen. 50, Rom. 8:28) then even the evil that comes into our lives will be for our good , so why would God withhold the good from us? I know it seems contradictory, but think about it. The enemy wants to bring things into our lives to steal from us and destroy us in every way possible. Because Satan stole our dominion of the earth in the Garden, he can do what he wants to us. But those who have received Jesus as their Savior have had their dominion restored and Holy Spirit is more powerful than the enemy. God then takes all the evil the enemy can throw at us and turns it into something that is beneficial in the long run for our lives.
Because of that mindset George knew the depths of love God had for him. Not only coould he then see the good even in the bad, it also made everything he did a joy, because there too he could see God working. What was accomplished wasn’t of his own power, but the power of God working through him to accomplish the supernatural things that became his life.
Love like that gives us a calm and undisturbed mind and heart, which in turn brings life and health to us. God is still looking for people who will see Him as the Loving Heavenly Father who longs to help His children live like heaven on earth! So let’s stop living in the “natural” and embrace the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit that will enable us to live amazing lives.
