Useful to God

1-Minute Devotion for Monday, 6/22/26

“I never saw a useful Christian who was not a student of the Bible.” D.L. Moody

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15 

A Little-Known Story About D.L. Moody

The first meeting I ever saw him at was in a little old shanty that had been abandoned by a saloon-keeper. Mr. Moody had got the place to hold the meetings at night. I went there a little late; and the first thing I saw was a man standing up with a few tallow candles around him, holding a negro boy, and trying to read to him the story of the Prodigal Son and a great many words he could not read out, and had to skip. I thought, ‘If the Lord can ever use such an instrument as that for His honor and glory, it will astonish me.’ As a result of his tireless labor, within a year the average attendance at his school was 650, while 60 volunteers from various churches served as teachers. It became so well known that the just-elected President Lincoln visited and spoke at a Sunday School meeting on November 25, 1860. (Wikipedia)

  1. What an encouraging story Cindy. It reminds me of the saying that a Bible reading Christian is a beggar showing another beggar where he found bread. God bless you today my friend and sister 🙏
