The Value of One

Revival Readings for the New Year

by Dr. Paul Chappell

“Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.”

Psalm 60:12

A Boston shoe clerk by the name of D.L. Moody once heard a preacher say, “The world has yet to see what God will do with a man who is fully and wholly consecrated to the Holy Spirit.” In response, Moody said, “By the grace of God, I’ll be that man.”

Through God, there is no limit to what one person can do. Born in Northfield, Massachusetts, D.L. Moody was raised on a farm until the age of 16 when he worked in a store in Boston. After a move to Chicago, Moody gained skill and rose to the top as a clerk and as the company’s best salesman. Amidst his success, Moody had a love for children that moved him to start a Sunday school in an abandoned freight car. The Sunday school grew and eventually met in a hall given to him rent-free by the mayor of Chicago. This Sunday school ended up reaching 1,500 boys and girls each week. After much prayer, Moody left his secular field, at age twenty three, and committed himself totally to the Lord’s work. The young D.L. Moody believed that through his God, he could do valiantly. His faith allowed his walk with God to be the dominant factor of his life.

Luke 1:37 says, “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” Even though some may say revival is impossible in America today, God says that nothing is impossible. Take time right now to pray for revival.
