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 …

The LORD will give grace and glory. Psalm 84:11, KJV
D.L. MOODYThere is not such a great difference between grace and glory after all. Grace is the bud, and glory the blossom. Grace is glory begun, and glory is grace perfected. To people who are serving God down here, glory will not come hard when they go up yonder to heaven. They will change places, but they will not stop serving.
ERWIN LUTZERThe word glory has a variety of meanings. When applied to God, it means majesty, worthiness, and eternality. We, too, will enjoy glory, though not of …

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:4
D.L. MOODYIn Exodus, we read that when Moses had finished the tabernacle in the desert, the Shekhinah glory came and filled it with the presence of God—that was the Holy Spirit. The moment the tabernacle was ready, it was filled. And when the temple was built, and the priests and the Levites were there singing with one accord, the cloud came and filled the temple; the moment the temple was ready, it was filled.These were two of His dwelling places; but where does He dwell now? Ye …

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 …

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 …

“Do you want to go away as well?” “Lord, to whom shall we go?” John 6:67–68
D.L. MOODYThe sun is thousands of years old, but gasoline is new. Shall we then use only gasoline in place of the sun? Block up all the windows of your houses and have nothing to do with the sun! You might as well do that as give up the Bible. Outgrown it! Why, there is no book to be compared with it. No other book will lift up the world. If you could go into a town where men were trying to love …
