D.L. Moody’s selfless act of service at Northfield: A powerful example of humility and following Christ’s servant heart (Philippians 2:5-7).


Serving Others

“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” (Philippians 2:5-7)

In September 1880, D.L. Moody, the famous American evangelist, held the first of the Northfield Bible Conferences in Northfield, Massachusetts. Invited to the bible conference were over 300 visitors and among those that came to the Northfield Seminary for the conference was a delegation from Great Britain.

As was their custom, each English guest put his shoes outside his room to be cleaned by the hall servants overnight. But of course this was America and there were no hall servants. Walking the dormitory halls that night, Moody saw the shoes and determined not to embarrass his brothers.  So, he mentioned the need to some seminary students who were there, but met with only silence or pious excuses. Moody returned to the dorm, gathered up the shoes, and, alone in his room, the renowned speaker began to clean and polish the shoes. Only the unexpected arrival of a friend in the midst of the work revealed the secret.

When the foreign visitors opened their doors the next morning, their shoes were shined. They never know by whom. Moody told no one, but his friend told a few people, and during the rest of the conference, different men volunteered to shine the shoes in secret.

Are you the type of servant who is ready to serve others in any capacity? Today in prayer, thank Christ Jesus that He humbled Himself to be a servant and seek to follow the Lord’s example.

“Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” (Matthew 20:26)

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.

Galatians_5-13: For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Hymn 705: Jesus, who calledst little ones to Thee


1: Jesus, who calledst little ones to Thee,

To Thee I come;

O take my hand in Thine, and speak to me;

And lead me home;

Lest from the path of life my feet should stray,

And Satan prowling make Thy lamb his prey.

2: I love to think that Thou with holy feet

My path hast trod,

Along life’s common lanes and dusty street

Hast walk’d with God,

On Mary’s bosom drawn a baby’s breath,

And served Thy parents dear at Nazareth.

3: O gentle Jesus, make this heart of mine,

So full of sin,

As holy, harmless, undefiled, as Thine

And dwell therein,

Then God my Father, I like Thee, shall know,

And grow in wisdom as in strength I grow.

4: To Thee, my Saviour, then, with morning light

Glad songs I ‘II raise,

My saddest hours and darkest shall be bright.

With silent praise;

And should my work or play my thoughts employ,

Thy will shall be my law, Thy love my joy.

Thank You Jesus,

Hymn 710: Gentle Jesus & Childlike Faith | Support Us


Hymn 710: Gentle Jesus, meek and mild

1: Gentle Jesus, meek and mild

Look upon a little child

Pity my simplicity

Suffer me to come to Thee.

2: Fain I would to Thee be brought

Blessed Lord, forbid it not

In the Kingdom of Thy grace,

Give a little child a place.

3: Fain I would be as Thou art

Give me Thy obedient heart

Thou art pitiful and kind

Let me have Thy loving mind.

4: Above all O Jesus Christ            

Let me do my Father’s will

Not to frustrate the Spirit

And Thy glory to be shown.

5: Lamb of God, I look to Thee,

Thou shalt my example be

Thou art gentle, meek, and mild

Thou wast once a little child.

6: Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb        

In Thy gracious hand I am

Make me Saviour what Thou art

Live thyself within my heart.

7: Thy praise, O Lord will I show

I will serve Thee all my days,

The world shall see Jesus Christ,

Father’s Holy Son in me.

Thank You Jesus,
