John Knight was a simple-hearted farmer. He preached no sermons, but in his slow deliberate way he loved to speak of the Lord, and many times he proved the faithfulness of the One whom he knew and loved. Here is what he says on one occasion: “One day when I was plowing, everything seemed to go wrong. The plow was wrong, the horses were wrong, the hired boy was wrong-everything was wrong!
“So I said to the boy, ‘You stay here and look after the team while I go to the other side of the bushes.’ I went to the other side of the bushes, and kneeling down I told the Lord all about it. When I came back, everything was different! The plow was right, the horses were right, the boy was right. All was right!”
Do we wonder that that boy grew up to know the Lord and became a preacher of the gospel? Prayer changes things, in a field, at home, at school, yes, everywhere! Have you proved this?
“He laid down His life for us.”
