William Penn, the founder of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was well-liked by the Indians. Once they told him he could have as much of their land as he could encompass on foot in a single day.

Early the next morning he started out and walked until late that night. When he finally went to claim his land, the Indians were greatly surprised, for they really didn’t think he would take them seriously. But they kept their promise and gave him a large area which today is part of the city of Philadelphia. William Penn simply believed what they said. Should we do less with God?

“I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.” – Revelation 2:19
