This decision marked the beginning of a lifelong commitment to depend solely on God, which he maintained until his death in 1898. Müller's story serves as a powerful testament to the rewards of faith and obedience in the Christian life.
Text
George Müller met up with Henry Craik, a Scotsman who was to become his closest friend and it was this quiet, godly and learned man who taught George Müller the need to wholly trust in, and be obedient to, the will of God. After resigning from the Mission school to take up preaching engagements, George Müller eventually accepted the Pastorate of a Church in Teignmouth with an honorarium of £50 per annum. He felt that God would provide all his needs and that he should be wholly dependent upon Him. From that moment on, until his death in 1898, George Müller grew in obedience and trust in God for everything.
