Grounded and Secure
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. Isaiah 12:2 D.L. MOODYDon’t be watching your feelings. There is not one verse from Genesis to Revelation about being saved by feeling. When the devil sees a poor soul in agony in the waves of sin and getting close to the Rock of Ages, he just holds out the plank of “feeling” to him and says, “There, get on that; you feel more comfortable now, don’t you?” And while the … Read More >

Standing Firm In Suffering
Trust in him at all times, O people. Psalm 62:8 D.L. MOODYThere are a good many who trust God when they see all is light and clear before them, but not in the dark. They will trust when everything is fair and bright—no opposition, no persecution or bitterness, but all smooth sailing. Well, that is walking by sight, and not by faith. We are to trust in the Lord at all times. The Lord will not have one who cannot be tried. If you are starting out in the Lord’s work, you are going to be tempted. St. Augustine … Read More >

The "Measly" 300
And the LORD said to Gideon, “With the 300 men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand, and let all the others go every man to his home.” Judges 7:7 D.L. MOODYIt would be a good thing for the church of God if all the fearful and faithless ones were to step to the rear, and let those who are full of faith and courage take their empty pitchers and go forward against the enemy. The little band of three hundred men who were left with Gideon routed the Midianites, but it was … Read More >

God: Our Shield And Reward
After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” Genesis 15:1 D.L. MOODYAbram might have thought that the kings he had defeated might get other kings and other armies to come; and he might have thought of himself as a solitary man, with only three hundred and eighteen men, so that he might have feared lest he be swept from the face of the Earth. But the Lord came and said: “Abram, fear not.” That is the first time those oft-repeated … Read More >

The Load-Bearing Savior
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 D.L. MOODYSome years ago, a gentleman asked me which I thought was the most precious promise of all those that Christ left. I took some time to look over the promises, but I gave it up. I found that I could not answer the question. Like a man with a large family of children, he cannot tell which he likes best, he loves them all. But if not the best, this is one of the sweetest promises of all:“Come unto … Read More >

Dying Grace
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9 D.L. MOODYI find many Christians worry about the future; they think they will not have grace enough to die by. It is much more important that we should have grace enough to live by. It seems to me that death is of very little importance in the meantime. When the dying hour comes, there will be … Read More >

Simple Obedience
And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 28:2 D.L. MOODYDo you know every man who was blessed while Christ was on Earth, was blessed in the act of obedience? Ten lepers came to Him, and He said, “Go shew [show] yourselves unto the priests” (Luke 17:14). They might have said, “What good is that going to do us? It was the priest that sent us away from our families.” But they said nothing. And it came to pass, that as they went, they were … Read More >

Step Out In Faith
Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be done to you.” Matthew 9:29 D.L. MOODYI remember a man telling me he preached for a number of years without any result. He used to say to his wife as they went to church, that he knew the people would not believe anything he said; and there was no blessing. At last, he saw his error; he asked God to help him and took courage, and then the blessing came. “According to your faith be it unto you.” This man had expected nothing, and he got … Read More >

More Precious Than Birds
Give us each day our daily bread. Luke 11:3 D.L. MOODYIf God could set a table for His people in the wilderness, and feed three million Israelites for forty years, can He not give us our daily bread? I do not mean only the bread that perisheth, but also the Bread that cometh from above. If He feeds the birds of the air, surely He will feed His children made in His own image! If He numbers the very hairs of our head, He will take care to supply all our temporal wants. ERWIN LUTZERJesus gave us three … Read More >

God: Batting A Thousand
God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Numbers 23:19 D.L. MOODYSuppose a man, directing me to the post office, gives me ten landmarks, and that in my progress, there I find nine of them to be as he told me. I should have good reason to believe that I was coming to the post office. And if, by believing, I get a new life and a hope, a peace, a joy, and a rest to my soul that … Read More >
