You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. 2 Corinthians 3:2
D.L. MOODYI remember reading of a blind man who was found sitting at the corner of a street in a great city with a lantern beside him. Someone went up to him and asked what he had the lantern there for, seeing that he was blind and the light was the same to him as the darkness. The blind man replied: “I have it so that no one may stumble over me.”Where one man reads the Bible, …

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4
D.L. MOODYMust not there be light where there is shadow? Can you get a shadow without light? If you doubt it, go down into the cellar tonight without a light and find your shadow if you can. All that death can do to a true believer is to throw a shadow across his path. Shadows never hurt anyone. You can walk right through them as you can …

O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. Psalm 51:15
D.L. MOODYIt is a very sad thing that so many of God’s children are dumb, yet it is true. The churches are full of them. They can talk about politics, art, and science; they can speak well enough and fast enough about the fashions of the day, but they have no voice for the Son of God.Dear friend, if Christ is your Saviour, confess Him. Every follower of Jesus should bear testimony for Him. How many opportunities each one has in society and in …

With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation. Psalm 91:16
D.L. MOODYI get a good deal of comfort out of that promise. I don’t think that means a short life down here, seventy years, eighty years, ninety years, or one hundred years. Do you think that any man living would be satisfied if they could live to be one hundred years old and then have to die? Not by a good deal. Suppose Adam had lived until today and had to die tonight, would he be satisfied? Not a bit of it! Not if he …

I will…honor him. Psalm 91:15
D.L. MOODYGod’s honor is something worth seeking. Man’s honor doesn’t amount to much. Suppose Moses had stopped down there in Egypt. He would have been loaded down with Egyptian titles, but they would never have reached us. Suppose he had been Chief Marshal of the whole Egyptian army, “General” Moses, “Commander” Moses; suppose he had reached the throne and become one of these Pharaohs and his mummy had come down to our day. What is that compared with the honor God put upon him? How his name shines on the pages of history!The …

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 …

He asked life of you; you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever. Psalm 21:4
D.L. MOODY (Born February 5, 1837)I was down in Texas and happened to pick up a newspaper, and there they called me “Old Moody.” Honestly, I never got such a shock from any paper in my life before! I never had been called old before; I cannot conceive of getting old. I have a life that is never going to end. Death may change my position but not my condition, not my standing with Jesus Christ. Death is not going to …

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting! Psalm 139:23–24
D.L. MOODYIf we should all honestly make this prayer once every day, there would be a good deal of change in our lives. “Search ME”—not my neighbor. It is so easy to pray for other people but so hard to get home to ourselves. I am afraid that we who are busy in the Lord’s work are especially in danger of neglecting our own vineyard.There …

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. Psalm 66:18
D.L. MOODYI sometimes tremble when I hear people quote promises and say that God is bound to fulfill those promises to them when, all the time, there is some sin in their lives they are not willing to give up. It is well for us to search our hearts and find out why it is that our prayers are not answered.

As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:12
D.L. MOODYNot some of them; He takes them all away. You may pile up your sins till they rise like a dark mountain and then multiply them by ten thousand for those you cannot think of; and after you have tried to enumerate all the sins you have ever committed, just let me bring one verse in, and that mountain will melt away: “The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from ALL sin” (1 John 1:7).
