Your Open Word e-Devotional for February 29th

Published: Mon, 02/29/16

Hello ,


Dwight Moody vowed to not let a day go past without talking to someone about the Savior every day, even if it meant getting out of bed at times.

One night, about 10 o'clock, Moody realized he had not talked to anyone that day, so he got out of bed and went out onto the street and noticed a man standing by a lamppost. Moody asked him, "Are you a Christian?"   The man flew into a violent rage and threatened to knock Moody into the gutter.  

This man later went to an elder in the church and complained that Moody was doing more harm than good, so the elder begged Dwight to temper his zeal down a little.  

Three months later Moody was awakened by a knock at the door.  It was the man to whom he had witnessed. "I want to talk to you about my soul," he said.  He apologized for the way he had treated Moody and said that he had no peace ever since that night when Moody witnessed to him.  Moody led the man to Christ, and he became a zealous worker in the work of the gospel!

Can you see the powerful difference one person can make?  Why not make your own commitment to not let a day go by without sharing your faith?  You never know what life you will positively touch for eternity.

Have a great day and God bless!
