Echo Of My Heart

This phrase from George Mueller struck me today as I read, and what a convicting quote, and just the echo of my heart for sure, as this is my desire as well.

"I am not only content simply to be a hammer, an axe, or a saw, in God's hands; but I shall count it an honor to be taken up and used by Him in any way; and if sinners are converted through my instrumentality, from my inner soul I will give Him all the glory."


I was also reading in Psalm 16 the last 2 days, really searching it, looking at it, and meditating on it. I think it is my new favorite Psalm. What great truths are in this chapter.

Psalm 16
Preserve me O God for in You I put my trust
O my soul, you have said to the Lord; You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You.

As for the saints who are on the earth, They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer. Nor take up their names on my lips.

O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.

I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel, My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.

I have set the Lord always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices, My flesh also will rest in hope.
For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.

You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy, At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
