George Mueller

Share a comment

Born in Prussia in 1805, George Müller started life far from the godly figure he would become. As a teenager, Müller was involved in theft, gambling, and a life of rebellion. But God's grace turned his life around at the age of 20 when he attended a small prayer meeting, where, for the first time, he saw believers pray on their knees. This simple act of humility struck Müller deeply, and soon after, he gave his life to Christ.

Müller's legacy would be built on his unwavering faith in God's provision. Without appealing for funds or making his needs public, he trusted that God would provide for the thousands of orphans under his care. And provide He did. Müller established five orphan houses that cared for over 10,000 orphans throughout his lifetime. His faith and prayer life were an inspiration, and his ministry grew to distribute millions of Bibles, New Testaments, and Christian literature worldwide.

What made Müller’s faith so powerful was his confidence in God's promises, particularly Romans 8:28 and Psalm 84:11. He lived out the belief that "no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly," trusting that all things—whether struggles or blessings—would work together for good in God's divine plan.

This episode explores how George Müller's life became a testimony to God's faithfulness, showing the world that trusting in God is never in vain. His story will inspire you to rely more fully on the One who provides for every need.
