Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. Proverbs 3:27
D.L. MOODYAfter the Chicago fire, I came to New York for money, and I heard there was a rich man in Fall River who was very charitable. So I went to Massachusetts. He gave me a check for a large amount, and then got into his carriage and drove with me to the houses of other rich men in the city, and they all gave me checks. When he left me at the train, I grasped his …

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Proverbs 28:13
D.L. MOODY“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper.” He may be a man in the pulpit, a priest before the altar, a king on the throne; I don’t care who he is. Man has been trying it for six thousand years. Adam tried it and failed. Moses tried it when he buried the Egyptian whom he killed, but he failed. “Be sure your sin will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). You cannot bury your sin so deep but it …

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Proverbs 16:24
D.L. MOODYI remember hearing of a man in one of the hospitals who received a bouquet of flowers on behalf of the Flower Mission. He looked at the beautiful bouquet and said: “Well, if I had known that a bunch of flowers could do a fellow so much good, I would have sent some myself when I was well.” If people only knew how they might cheer some lonely heart and lift up some drooping spirit, or speak some word that shall …

If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. Proverbs 28:9
D.L. MOODYThink of that! It may shock some of us to think that our prayers are an abomination to God, yet if any are living in known sin, this is what God’s Word says about them. If we are not willing to turn from sin and obey God’s law, we have no right to expect He will answer our prayers. The prayer of the humble and the contrite heart is a delight to God. There is no sound that goes up …

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:5–6
D.L. MOODYSo faith is the golden key that unlocks the treasures of heaven. It was the shield David took when he met Goliath on the field; he believed that God was going to deliver the Philistine into his hands. Someone has said that faith could …

My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways. Proverbs 23:26
D.L. MOODYI remember hearing a story about a Native American Indian who wanted to come to the Lord. He brought his blanket, but the Lord wouldn’t have it. He brought his gun, his dog, his bow and arrow, but the Lord wouldn’t have them. At last he brought himself, and the Lord took him. The Lord wanted himself. What the Lord wants is not what you have got, but yourself, and you cannot do a thing to please God until you surrender yourself to …

For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:15–16
D.L. MOODYA man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next six months, or take sufficient air into his lungs at once to sustain life for a week to come. We must …

Our Father. Matthew 6:9
D.L. MOODYIf you ask me why God should love us, I cannot tell. I suppose it is because He is a true Father. It is His nature to love; just as it is the nature of the sun to shine.
ERWIN LUTZERWhat Moody doesn’t tell us here is that his own father was an alcoholic who died when Moody was about nine years old. Perhaps this is why the fact that God is our Heavenly Father was so precious to Moody. He didn’t have a father on Earth who loved him, but he did …

I will be with him in trouble. Psalm 91:15
D.L. MOODYIt is a great thing to have a place of resort in the time of trouble. How people get on without the God of the Bible is a mystery to me. If I didn’t have such a refuge, a place to go and pour out my heart to God in such times, I don’t know what I would do. It seems as if I would go out of my mind. But to think, when the heart is burdened, we can go and pour those burdens into His ear, and …

And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. Daniel 12:3
D.L. MOODYHow empty and short-lived are the glory and the pride of this world! If we are wise, we will live for God and eternity; we will get outside of ourselves and will care nothing for the honor and glory of this world. In Proverbs 11:30 we read: “He that winneth souls is wise.” If any man, woman, or child, by a godly life and example, can win one soul …
