Jesus was not just a good man who taught us about God: He was with God the Father and the Holy Spirit from the very beginning.

David knew that true joy came from God. So did George Mueller. When we come to God in the morning, let's avoid just ticking the boxes and being on our way. We must come to Him for joy!

Though he had sinned, David was still welcomed into God's presence, because he was loved by God. We can ALL find forgiveness and grace at God's feet, and have our shame washed away. Every morning come to God and remember His great love for you!

We all know our weak points. In the morning, let's come to God with these, and ask for new strength and power to resist them and live the holy lives we are called to. David did!

When David spent time with God in the mornings, he would present his requests to God, and wait expectantly for answers. Yet how quick we are to rush off into our day without giving God a chance!

In the morning, pray! This is how David started his day, as we see clearly in Psalm 5:1-3. There is nothing quite like giving your morning to God - how else could the day go peacefully!?

At 92 years old, Ruth Garlock was still leading people to Christ. She didn't leave her missionary spirit in the tribal lands! She lived it wherever she was. How about us?

Cornered by a murderous tribe who spoke no English, Henry Garlock prayed and asked God to help him. He began to speak, and to his surprise, words that he had never learned came pouring out of his mouth. Speaking in strange tongues is a gift from God - but could it be that God assists us in speaking different languages when needed?

Facing a murderous angry mob, Henry Garlock believed his time had come. He prayed for God's protection and began repeating the name of Jesus - and God intervened in an amazing way. You have to hear this story!

Henry Garlock fell dreadfully ill on a journey through the forest. At the same time, across the ocean, his father awoke feeling the need to pray for his son. His prayers proved effective! How important for us to pray when God prompts us to.

When Ruth Garlock saw her tribal friends perform a strange ritual where the blood of a chicken was sprinkled on their heads, she asked what it was about. Their answer proved that we all seek atonement - but truly, it is only the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, that can assure us of forgiven sins.

Henry and Ruth Garlock saw some supernatural miracles in Liberia - but they also found miraculous strength to do things they didn't think they could. God's miracles can sometimes be less than supernatural but just as amazing.

Ruth Garlock's mother realised that she needed to offer her daughter to God as a living sacrifice. Romans 12:1 demanded it.

When Henry Garlock was prompted to jump off his train at an early stop, he obeyed and was blessed. We must always obey when God prompts!

Henry Garlock faced a tough decision, and God's Word spoke directly to his situation and urged him to keep going and not look back in his mission for God.

Henry Garlock's father had a dramatic conversion after his mother did something drastic. What powerful work might God be wanting to do in your life, if you would wrestle until He does it?

When God makes a way, it is for his people. We are not meant to try walk the road alone, but with others!

The Exodus and the Exile both teach us a great spiritual truth: that God saves his people from their sin, and reconciles them back to him. Don't just ask him to get you through the tough times - he makes a way to SAVE you, and bring you back to himself.

As we walk through deserts, we have One who will quench our thirst - the Living Water, Jesus! Let's take great big gulps of living water this year.

God makes a way through the waters. When it seems like he won't, because there are enemies one side and floods the other... he opens up a way. Trust in His timing this year!
