Observe two things.
We acted for God in delaying the public meetings and the publishing of the report, but God's way leads always into trial, so far as sight and sense are concerned.
Nature always will be tried in God's ways.
The Lord was saying by this poverty—
I will now see whether you truly lean upon me and whether you truly look to me.
Of all the seasons that I had ever passed through since I had been living in this way up to this time, I never knew any period in which my faith was tried so sharply as during the four months from December 12, 1841 to April 12, 1842."
But observe further, we might even now have altered our minds with respect to the public meetings and publishing the report, for no one knew our determination at this time concerning the point.
Nay, on the contrary, we knew with what delight very many children of God were looking forward to receive further accounts, but the Lord kept us steadfast to the conclusion at which we had arrived under his guidance.
He abideth faithful.
Under the date January 25, 1842, Mr. Muller writes, Perhaps, dear reader, you have said in your heart before you have read thus far, How would it be, suppose the funds for the orphans were reduced to nothing, and those who are engaged in the work had nothing of their own to give, and a meal-time were come, and you had no food for the children—
Thus indeed it may be, for our hearts are desperately wicked.
If ever we should be so left to ourselves as that either we depend no more upon the living God or that we regard iniquity in our hearts, then such a state of things, we have reason to believe, would occur.
but so long as we shall be enabled to trust in the living god and so long as though falling short in every way of what we might be and ought to be we are at least kept from living in sin such a state of things cannot occur therefore dear reader if you yourself walk with god and if on that account his glory is dear to you
I affectionately and earnestly entreat you to beseech him to uphold us, for how awful would be the disgrace brought upon his holy name, if we, who have so publicly made our boast in him, and have spoken well of him, should be left to disgrace him, either by unbelief in the hour of trial, or by a life of sin in other respects.
delayed but sure march ninth eighteen forty two at a time of the greatest need both with regard to the day-schools and the orphans so much so that we could not have gone on any longer without help
i received this day ten pounds from a brother who lives near dublin the money was divided between the day schools and the orphan houses the following little circumstance is to be noted respecting this donation
as our need was so great and my soul was through grace truly waiting upon the lord i looked out for supplies in the course of this morning the post however was out and no supplies had come this did not in the least discourage me i said to myself the lord can send means without the post or even now though the post is out by this very delivery of letters he may have sent means
though the money is not yet in my hands it was not long after i had thus spoken to myself when according to my hope in god we were helped for the brother who sent us the ten pounds had this time directed his letter to the boy's orphan house whence it was sent to me
like as a father march the seventeenth from the twelfth to the sixteenth had come in four pounds five shillings and eleven and a half pence for the orphans this morning our poverty which now has lasted more or less for several months had become exceedingly great i left my house a few minutes after seven to go to the orphan houses
to see whether there was money enough to take in the milk which is brought about eight o'clock on my way it was specially my request that the lord would be pleased to pity us even as a father pitieth his children and that he would not lay more upon us than he would enable us to bear i especially entreated him that he would now be pleased to refresh our hearts by sending us help
