Summary: George Müller knew God as few men in history ever have. This is what Müller said about his times alone with God: "I begin to meditate on the New Testament early in the mornings… Invariably, I have found that […] after so many minutes of meditation, my soul is guided to confession, or to give thanks, or to intercede, or to make a request. So, even when you couldn’t say that I had given myself to prayer, but rather to meditation, that meditation turned into prayer." As God’s Word spoke to Müller’s heart, he naturally responded back to God in prayer. He enjoyed close fellowship with his Lord by meditating on the Bible and communicating with God on a very intimate level. The Psalms say, “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O God, my strength and my Redeemer.” Communication is key to any relationship – including our relationship with God Almighty. When our relationship with God is growing, it will affect the world around us. Let’s strengthen that relationship as we express adoration, petition, intercession, and thanksgiving to God. Listen to His voice through the daily study and meditation of His Word, especially the New Testament. It’s the first step in reaching our world.
