Other-Worldly Rest
Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity. Ecclesiastes 12:8 D.L. MOODYThe worship of pleasure is slavery. (Solomon tried pleasure and found bitter disappointment, and down the ages has come the bitter cry, “All is vanity.”) There is no rest in sin. The wicked know nothing about rest. The Scriptures tell us the wicked “are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest.” (Isaiah 57:20). Man, like the sea, has no rest. He has had no rest since Adam fell, and there is none for him until he returns to God again, and the light of Christ shines … Read More >

Praying From Morning To Night
Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 D.L. MOODYIt was in November or December when those men of Judah arrived at Shushan (Nehemiah 1:1–2), and Nehemiah prayed on until March or April before he spoke to the king. If a blessing doesn’t come tonight, pray harder tomorrow, and if it doesn’t come tomorrow, pray harder, and even then, if it doesn’t come, keep right on, and you will not be disappointed. God in heaven will hear your prayers, and will answer them. He has never failed, if a man has been honest in his petitions and honest in his confessions. … Read More >

Can we know for sure that we are one of Christ’s sheep? While the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy, the Good Shepherd lays down His life for His own.

The Fruit of Joy
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. John 15:11 D.L. MOODYPeople should look for joy in the Word, and not in the world. They should look for the joy, which the Scriptures furnish, and then go to work in the vineyard, because a joy that doesn’t send me out to someone else, a joy that doesn’t impel me to go and help the poor drunkard, a joy that doesn’t prompt me to visit the widow and the fatherless, a joy that doesn’t cause me to … Read More >

Trouble Clarifies
I will be with him in trouble. Psalm 91:15 D.L. MOODYWe are apt to think young people do not have any trouble, but if they haven’t, there is one thing they can make sure of: they are going to have trouble later. “Man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward” (Job 5:7). Trouble is coming. No one is exempt. God has had one Son without sin, but He has never had one without sorrow. Jesus Christ, our Master, suffered as few men ever suffered, and He died very young. Ours is a path of sorrow and suffering, … Read More >

The Load-Bearing Savior
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 D.L. MOODYSome years ago, a gentleman asked me which I thought was the most precious promise of all those that Christ left. I took some time to look over the promises, but I gave it up. I found that I could not answer the question. Like a man with a large family of children, he cannot tell which he likes best, he loves them all. But if not the best, this is one of the sweetest promises of all:“Come unto … Read More >
