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)

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 🙏

Powerful message, Cindy, and one emphasizing how reading and heeding God’s Word matters. Each of us have the opportunity to be an example of His Light in this dark world.

You’re welcome, Cindy.
As a reminder to all, today is Social Media Victims Remembrance Day. A quick search will provide the SMVRD organization’s webpage. I’m encouraging people to visit the page and scroll down. As you scroll, count the victims and note their ages.
SMVRD is a chilling reminder that the decisions made by platform owners cause unintended consequences, and I hope people, especially parents, will make informed decisions.
