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 …

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 …

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 …

“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 …

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.
