So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11
D.L. MOODYSometimes it looks as if God’s servants fail. When Herod beheaded John the Baptist, it looked as if John’s mission was a failure. But was it? The voice that rang through the valley of the Jordan rings through the whole world today. You can hear its echo upon the mountains and the valleys yet, “He must increase, but I …

But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up mire and dirt. Isaiah 57:20
D.L. MOODYThe only thing that can keep us from peace is sin. God turns the way of the wicked upside down. “There is no peace unto the wicked,” says God (Isaiah 48:22). They are like the troubled sea that cannot rest, casting up filth and mire all the while; but peace with God by faith in Jesus Christ, peace through the knowledge of forgiven sin is like a rock—the waters go dashing and surging past, but …

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. Isaiah 35:10
D.L. MOODYI think there is a difference between happiness and joy. Happy-ness is caused by things which happen around me, and circumstances will mar it, but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows on through the dark; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows all through persecution and opposition; it is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring which the world can’t see and doesn’t …

From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him. Isaiah 64:4These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:10
D.L. MOODYMost people say, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,” and they stop there. But see what the New Testament says, “God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit.” You see, the Lord has revealed them unto us: “For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.”

For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” Matthew 23:39
D.L. MOODYWhen Christ returns, He will not be treated as He was before. There will be room for Him at Bethlehem. He will be welcome in Jerusalem. He will reveal Himself as Joseph revealed himself to his brethren. He will say to the Jews, “I am Jesus,” and they will reply, “Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.” And the Jews will then be that nation that shall be …

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 …

You shall have no other gods before me. Exodus 20:3
D.L. MOODYYou don’t have to go to heathen lands today to find false gods. America is full of them. Whatever you make most of is your god. Whatever you love more than God is your idol. Rich and poor, learned and unlearned, all classes of men and women are guilty of this sin. “The mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself” (Isaiah 2:9).A man may make a god of himself, of a child, of a mother, of some precious gift God has bestowed upon him. …

Arise, shine, for your light has come…And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Isaiah 60:1, 3
D.L. MOODYLove must be active, just as light must shine. As someone has said: “A man may hoard up his money; he may bury his talents in a napkin; but there is one thing he cannot hoard up, and that is love.” You cannot bury it. It must flow out. It cannot feed upon itself; it must have an object.
ERWIN LUTZERIsaiah was talking about God showering Israel with His glory and love, and …

I will place on his shoulder the key of the house of David. He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him like a peg in a secure place, and he will become a throne of honor to his father’s house. Isaiah 22:22–24
D.L. MOODYThere is one nail fastened in a sure place; and on it hang all the pitchers and all the cups. “Oh,” says one little cup, “I am so small and so black, suppose I were to drop!” “Oh,” says pitcher, “there is no fear …

A kingdom that shall never be destroyed. Daniel 2:44
D.L. MOODYNapoleon tried to establish a kingdom by the force of arms. So did Alexander the Great and Caesar and other great warriors, but they utterly failed. Jesus founded His kingdom on love, and it is going to stand. When we join this realm of love, then all selfish and unworthy motives will disappear and our work will stand the fire when God shall put it to the test.
