Homilist Numbers 10:29-32 And Moses said to Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying to the place of which the LORD said… There are here two prayers for different occasions: one for active life, the other for quiet rest. In both cases they are suitable and blessed. I. WE HAVE GOD FIGHTING OUR BATTLES. His enemies are ours, and He will identify our struggles with His: 1. So far as we are going in the way of His commands. 2. So far as our actions are identified with His will. If we are fighting for our own will, our own ambition, our own ideas, we cannot say, "Scatter Thy enemies." II. WE HAVE GOD PROTECTING OUR PERIODS OF REST. 1. "He slumbereth not nor sleepeth," and "to Him the darkness is as the day." 2. He never wearies nor is tired; hence there is nothing to hinder or prevent His constant care. (Homilist.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel. |
