The
life story of Billy Graham is one of the best personal histories that
Christians must know to learn more about Christ in his life. I have
learned of his diligence in reading God's Word continually and
consistently before he share the Word of God. The life of Billy
touches a believer's life as Christians reads his autobiography
because his prayer life and devotional time was uplifting and
inspiring. The life of David Livingstone influenced me greatly. I
have learned of his studying thoroughly and extensively to master his
profession and passions in serving God. He reads and understands it.
I was blessed and reap a lesson to learn.
Billy's personal devotional life involved praying alone daily with
the Bible and spending time with God intimately which benefits me by
knowing the importance and significance in studying God's Word. My
priority should not be about how I work for the Lord but to enjoy my
relationship with God daily and to nurture my spiritual being. God's
provision in the life of David as he share the Gospel is always ready
and sure. I must do the will of God by being faithful in the ministry
that God has entrusted to me. God is without failure in providing
David's daily needs and so do I.I should never expect someone's help
but God alone as He will kept His promises.
There
are steps that will take in order to put these passages in my own
personal life. In my devotional and plea it should be classified by
appealing with selfless prayer, vigilance, preciseness and humility.
This
illustrates me that I should not only pray for my own needs but for
everyone in a wholistic way.
I
should depend on no one else but God alone for He will provide at the
right time. Every problem that I will encounter in life I should lift
up in prayer because God always gave opportune answers. In facing
trials of faith, God is always sufficient and more than enough. I
should never be dismayed, frustrated or lose heart even in the midst
of my greatest difficulties.
Their
lives leave marks in my life. I realized the importance of prayer
that do not limit God's power. I came to understand that in my own
personal prayer I should pray specifically and pray beyond the
resources that He has given me. It is like stepping out and praying
for the impossible and for something beyond human's ability. They
influenced me greatly about their faith in God and I came to a
realization and a motivation to pray with faith like them. I came to
understand that faith is all about believing God – that He is
powerful, that He is the God of possibilities and can do what He
wills and so there is nothing to fear about. I am serving the same
God as they so He can also do the same as long as I have faith and
believe that in every circumstances nothing happens by accident. In
every difficulties in life, I have learned not to give up immediately
even in the last minute because God is the God of miracles and is
full of wonders.
