Living in the Past or Future

By Dwight Lyman Moody

THERE are two kinds of people—some that live on the past, and some that live on the future. You never saw a person living upon the past all the time, and always talking about the past, that did not have a good many wrinkles on his brow. Instead of casting all their care on Him that careth for them, they are all the time thinking about their troubles. They go to a meeting, and when it is over say, “Wasn’t it splendid? I enjoyed it so much; I forgot all my cares, and all my troubles.” They laid their bundle down under their seat, but the moment the benediction was over they picked it up again. Give your trouble to God. Remember that everything before the believer is glory.—D. L. Moody.
