A Narrative of Some of the Lord's Dealings with George Müller. Part 4
Müller, George
Orphanages -- Great Britain; Prayer
Of the donations which came in between Aug. 2nd and 14th (in amount 51l.
16s. 3 1/2 d.), I only refer to the following.--Aug. 9th. A brother,
being some time ago, through a particular circumstance, in danger of
losing all his property, dedicated to the Lord 50l., if He would be
pleased to help him out of the difficulty. Now today I received from
that brother, with his explanation of this, 10l. for the Orphans and 5l.
for my own personal necessities, being a part of that 50l., as the Lord,
in answer to prayer, has delivered him out of the danger.
Aug. 14. Saturday evening. This evening I found that there was only as
much money in hand for present use for the Orphans (i.e. 44l.), as there
were liabilities upon me for rent, &c. On this account I gave myself
particularly to prayer for means for house-keeping expenses, as on
Tuesday evening I shall have to give fresh supplies to the matrons.
About one hour, after I had risen from my knees, two sovereigns were
given to me, which a sister had brought from Ilfracombe.
Aug. 15. Today came in further, from Barnstaple. 5s., anonymously 5l.,
from C. C. 5s. 4d., from a sister in Bristol 1l., from Clifton 4s., and
anonymously 2s. 6d. and 3s. 6d.--Thus the Lord has been pleased to
give me already, within twenty-four hours, after I had sought more
especially His help for means, the sum of 9l. 0s. 4d. My eyes are now
looking to Him for more.
Aug. 16. By sale of articles came in 1l. 10s. 10d.
Aug. 17. Tuesday evening. No more having come in, I have not been able
to give to the matrons the housekeeping expenses for the whole week; I
hope, however, that the Lord will send more before all is expended which
I was able to give, and which will last about three or four days.
Aug. 18. This morning I received from Droitwich a half sovereign, and
from Yorkshire 3l. Thus the Lord has already given 3l. 10s.--There
was also left at my house this afternoon, anonymously, a pair of silver
spectacles; and at the Girls' Orphan-House. No. II were left 3 rings,
a brooch, and a pair of ear-rings.--There was also given 2s. 6d.
