Courage and Fearlessness Before Kings
Jeremiah 17:19
Thus said the LORD to me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in…


When King Don Pedro was unexpectedly brought into the hall in Chicago in which Moody was speaking on "Accepting Christ," the obsequious usher, after showing the king to a seat on the platform, whispered to Moody, "King Don Pedro is on the platform." Moody took no notice, but at the end of his powerful appeal turned to the king and said, "And that is a question that kings cannot postpone, for on their decision depends what God will do with the king." The king afterwards spoke of him as "a man to be heard and believed."

(G. Campbell Morgan.)
