"George Mueller has proved to the world the truth of Philippians 4:19 and he will always be remembered as the man who got things from God.  His testimony is an inspiration to Christians everywhere.  Three weeks after his marriage, he and his wife decided to depend on God alone to supply their needs--never again to approach people about them.  Now he felt led to relinquish his small salary as a preacher completely.  Wishing that all support be spontaneous, he put a box in the chapel for his needs; determining never to run into debt, and to get his needs supplied only by requests to God Himself.  This was October, 1830.  When he died, in March 1898, 68 years later, he had obtained from God more than any one else who ever lived--seven and a half million dollars."
