I’m writing this on Wednesday morning. The election results have just been announced. It seems wise to reflect on how we as Christians ought to respond in this moment. Three main thoughts come to mind:
First, if the candidate you voted for won, this is a good time to remember what Psalm 146:3 says, “Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.” No matter how enthusiastic our support for a candidate, as followers of Jesus, our deepest and final trust is reserved for God alone. Idolatry is sneaky. We must keep …

In God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me? Psalm 56:11
D.L. MOODYIf God has hid me in the secret pavilion, let men slander me and abuse me if they like! If I can say that God is my Father, Jesus is my Saviour, and heaven is my home, let the world rail, let the flesh do what it pleases, I will not be afraid of evil tidings, for my trust is in God! Is not that a good footing for eternity? “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not …

I will set him on high. Psalm 91:14, KJV
D.L. MOODYGod is able to do it. Up above the angels, up above the archangels, up above the cherubim and seraphim, on the throne with His own Son. We are called to be sons and daughters of the eternal God. Do you know, the Prince of Wales cannot sit on the throne with Queen Victoria? But it is not so yonder. Christ has gone up and taken His seat at the right hand of the Father, and every son and daughter of God is to be lifted up to the …

And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. Matthew 13:58
D.L. MOODYUnbelief is as much an enemy to the Christian as it is to the unconverted. It will keep back the blessing now as much as it did in the days of Christ. We read that in one place Christ could not do many mighty works because of unbelief. If Christ could not do this, how can we expect to accomplish anything if the people of God dare unbelieving? I contend that God’s children are alone able to hinder God’s work. Infidels, atheists, and …

Those who look to him are radiant. Psalm 34:5
D.L. MOODY
If you want to scatter your doubts, look at the blood; and if you want to increase your doubts, look at yourself. You will get doubts enough for years by being occupied with yourself only a few days.
ERWIN LUTZERConflict with doubt. Have you ever noticed how easy it is for us to slide into despair? And when we’re indespair, it’s very easy for us to make a mistake or a wrong decision in a panic. In the Old Testament, David is painted very realistically. In fact, there …

Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Ephesians 4:25
D.L. MOODYWe have got nowadays so that we divide lies into white lies and black lies, society lies, business lies, and so on. The Word of God knows no such letting down of the standard. A lie is a lie, no matter what are the circumstances under which it is uttered, or by whom. I have heard that in Siam, they sew up the mouth of a confirmed liar. I am afraid if that …

When he calls to me, I will answer him. Psalm 91:15
D.L. MOODYListen to the prodigal, “Father, I have sinned” (Luke 15:21). That was enough; the father took him right to his bosom. The past was blotted out at once. Look at the men on the day of Pentecost. Their hands were dripping with the blood of the Son of God; they had murdered Jesus Christ. And what did Peter say to them? “It shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21). Look at the penitent thief. Perhaps, …

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, …

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. …

And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:10
D.L. MOODYA man will not trust strangers. I want to get acquainted with a man before I put my confidence in him. I have known God for forty years, and I have more confidence in Him now than I ever had before; it increases every year. In the Bible, some things that were dark ten years ago are plain today; and some things that are dark now will be plain ten years hence.We must …
