Give us each day our daily bread. Luke 11:3
D.L. MOODYIf God could set a table for His people in the wilderness, and feed three million Israelites for forty years, can He not give us our daily bread? I do not mean only the bread that perisheth, but also the Bread that cometh from above. If He feeds the birds of the air, surely He will feed His children made in His own image! If He numbers the very hairs of our head, He will take care to supply all our temporal wants.

And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly. Luke 22:61–62
D.L. MOODYThe Master might have turned and said to Peter, “Is it true, Peter, that you have forgotten me so soon? Do you not remember when your wife’s mother lay sick of a fever that I rebuked the disease and it left her? Do you not call to mind your astonishment at the draught of fishes so …

Do good…expecting nothing in return. Luke 6:35
D.L. MOODYLove never looks to see what it is going to get in return. I have generally found that those workers who are looking to see how much they are going to get from the Lord are never satisfied. But love does its work and makes no bargain.
ERWIN LUTZERAll of us have aspired to greatness. We would like to be remembered for doing something significant. That desire for significance is actually God-given because God put eternity in our hearts. In our fallenness, we look for significance in all the wrong …

I will seek the lost. Ezekiel 34:16
D.L. MOODYI do not believe there is a man that the Spirit of God has not striven with at some period of his life. Every man who has ever been saved through these six thousand years was sought after by God. No sooner did Adam fall than God sought him. He had gone away frightened, and hid himself away among the bushes in the garden, but God sought him; and from that day to this, God has always taken the initiative to seek the lost.

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.John 5:24
D.L. MOODYI would a thousand times rather stand on that verse than all the frames and feelings I ever had. I took my stand there twenty years ago. Since then, the dark waves of hell have come dashing up against me; the waves of persecution have broken all around me; doubts, fears, and unbelief, in turn, have assailed me; but I have been able to …

And I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:29–30
D.L. MOODYThink of the Lord stooping down and taking a poor drunkard right up and out of the gutter and putting his feet on the rock, and a new song in his mouth, and lifting him up above powers and principalities, above angels and archangels, seraphim and cherubim, up, up, up, onto the throne with Himself! Do you suppose that an angel …

She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. Mark 14:8
D.L. MOODYI imagine when Mary died, if God had sent an angel to write her epitaph, he couldn’t have done better than to put over her grave what Christ said: “She hath done what she could.” I would rather have that said over my grave, if it could honestly be said, than to have all the wealth of the Rothschilds. Christ raised a monument to Mary that is more lasting than the monuments raised to Caesar or Napoleon. Their monuments crumble away, but …

And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. Romans 4:5
D.L. MOODYThe thief had nails through both hands, so he could not work; and a nail through each foot, so he could not run errands for the Lord. He could not lift a hand or a foot toward his salvation, and yet Christ offered him the gift of God, and he took it. He threw him a passport, and took him with Him into paradise.
ERWIN LUTZERLook again at this remarkable conversion story—the thief …

You are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14
D.L. MOODYWhen Moses was in Egypt, to punish Pharaoh, he turned the waters into blood. When Christ was on Earth He turned the water into wine. That is the difference between law and grace. The law says, “Kill him;” grace says, “Forgive him.” Law says, “Condemn him;” grace says, “Love him.” When the law came out of Horeb, three thousand men were destroyed. (Exodus 32:28). At Pentecost, under grace, three thousand men found life (Acts 2:41). What a difference! When Moses came to the burning bush, he was commanded …

There is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Luke 15:10
D.L. MOODY“Joy in the presence of angels?” Perhaps the friends who have left the shores of time may be looking down upon us; and when they see someone they prayed for while on Earth turning to God, it sends a thrill of joy to their very hearts. Even now, some mother who has gone up yonder may be looking down upon a son or daughter, and if that child should say: “I will meet that mother of mine; I will decide for God,” the …
