They Knew Their God Volume 3: She Chose the Good Part

Posted on by

They Knew Their God Volume Three by Edwin and Lillian Harvey, like the other five books in the They Knew Their God series, contains sketches of men and women who served God in their day and generation and whose goal was to know Him intimately. Mary Mozely is one such servant of the Lord. The authors have opened her sketch with the following paragraph:
“Mary Mozley stood on board the Llandovery Castle, waving good bye to friends and relatives. She was about to begin that long voyage which would take her to her chosen mission field. The future was mercifully veiled from the young voyager as she watched the receding shores of her native land.

Little did she realize that she would be given only nine brief years to serve her Savior among the natives of the Congo before being called Home, for she was still in her twenties and life seemed to stretch out ahead. But brief though her life was to be, it would be one filled to the full with learning those lessons which would fit her for her everlasting reign with Christ. When the final call was to come, Mary Mozely would be ready!”
Then that final call came on the 4th of December, early in the morning, Mary, at the early age of thirty 36, was called into the Presence of the One she had served and loved so faithfully. The closing paragraph of the sketch puts it like this:
“She would not be greeting a stranger for she had often met Him and thus come to know Him through the medium of His Word and prayer. He whose spirit beats a path of prayer daily to the Throne of Grace is not in danger of losing his way in the emergencies of life. The sustaining grace of her Lord Jesus Christ had nurtured Mary through varied circumstances, and now was at her side when she passed beyond the vale of time into the presence of the King.”
The entire six-volume series of They Knew Their God is published by Harvey Christian Publishers and is available on their Online Christian Bookstore.
