The Divine Precaution for the Safety of Christian Workers
Exodus 4:19
And the LORD said to Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought your life.


I. IT IS SOMETIMES MANIFESTED BY REMOVING GOOD MEN AND GREAT WORKERS FROM DANGEROUS ASSOCIATIONS.

1. Christian workers are sometimes removed from the pride of high society.

2. Christian workers are sometimes removed from the contamination of great sin.

3. Christian workers are sometimes removed from the pedantry of great learning.

4. Christian workers are sometimes removed from physical evil.

II. IT IS SOMETIMES MANIFESTED BY INFORMING GOOD MEN AND GREAT WORKERS OF THE REMOVAL OF DANGER. Time aids the enterprises of heaven. Death subdues the hatred and passion of men.

III. THE DIVINE PRECAUTION DOES NOT ALLOW AN ABANDONMENT OF THE WORK COMMITTED TO THE GOOD.

(J. S. Exell, M. A.)
