For zeal for your house has consumed me. Psalm 69:9
D.L. MOODYI heard of someone who was speaking the other day of something that was to be done, and he hoped zeal would be tempered with moderation. Another friend very wisely replied that he hoped moderation would be tempered with zeal. If that were always the case, Christianity would be like a red-hot ball rolling over the face of the Earth. There is no power on Earth that can stand before the onward march of God’s people when they are in dead earnest.

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
D.L. MOODYThese are the men who find Christ—those who seek for Him with all their heart. I am tired and sick of half-heartedness. You don’t like a half- hearted man; you don’t care for anyone to love you with a half-heart, and the Lord won’t have it. If we are going to seek for Him and find Him, we must do it with all our heart.I believe the reason why so few people find Christ is because they are not terribly …

I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Psalm 32:5
D.L. MOODYWe are good at confessing other people’s sins, but if it is true repentance, we shall have as much as we can do to look after our own. When a man or woman gets a good look into God’s looking glass, they are not finding fault with other people: such are fully occupied with their own sins.

Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. Psalm 119:18
D.L. MOODYWe have a great many prayer meetings, but there is something just as important as prayer, and that is that we read our Bibles, that we have Bible study and Bible lectures and Bible classes so that we may get hold of the Word of God. When I pray, I talk to God, but when I read the Bible, God is talking to me; and it is really more important that God should speak to me than that I should speak to Him. …

It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes. Psalm 119:71
D.L. MOODYCould a life of ease ruin a man? Yes. If he had nothing but prosperity, he would be ruined. A man can stand adversity better than prosperity. I know a great many who have become very prosperous, but I know few such that haven’t lost all their piety, that haven’t lost sight of that city eternal in the heavens, whose builder and maker is God. Earthly things have drawn their heart’s affections away from eternal things.

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 …

So [Zacchaeus] hurried and came down and received [Jesus] joyfully. Luke 19:6
D.L. MOODYDid you ever hear of anyone receiving Christ in any other way? Zacchaeus received Him joyfully. Christ brings joy with Him. Sin, gloom, and darkness flee away; light, peace, and joy burst into the soul.
ERWIN LUTZERChrist does bring joy, but sin causes the cup of joy to spring a leak. If we are troubled by our consciences, if we find ourselves in conflict with the world, our joy can turn into guilt or grief.As believers, we find ourselves beset with many different kinds …

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 …

When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. Psalm 91:15
D.L. MOODYIf we call on God for deliverance and for victory over sin and every evil, God will not turn a deaf ear to our call. I don’t care what the past record has been, I don’t care how disobedient or how one may have backslidden and wandered, if one really wants to come back, God accepts the willing mind, God will hear prayer, and answer.Some people say they can’t call. Perhaps you …

Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. Exodus 18:21
D.L. MOODYIsn’t it extraordinary that Jethro, the man of the desert, should have given this advice to Moses? How did he learn to beware of covetousness? We honor men today if they are wealthy and covetous. We elect them to office in church and state. We often say they will make better treasurers because we know them to be …
