“But if thou shalt indeed
obey his voice,
and do all that I speak;
then I will be an enemy unto
thine enemies,
and an adversary unto thine
adversaries”
Exodus 23:22
GOD IS OUR
ALLY
The Lord
Christ in the midst of His
people is to be acknowledged and
obeyed. He is the vicegerent of
God, and speaks in the Father’s
name, and it is ours implicitly
and immediately to do as He
commands. We shall lose
the promise if we disregard the
precept.
To full obedience how large the
blessing! The Lord enters into a
league with His people,
offensive and defensive. He will
bless those who bless us, and
curse those who curse us. God
will go heart and soul with His
people, and enter in deepest
sympathy into their position.
What a
protection this affords us! We
need not concern ourselves about
our adversaries, when we are
assured that they have become
the adversaries of God. If
Jehovah has
taken up our quarrel we may
leave the foemen in His hands.
So far as our own interest is
concerned we have no enemies;
but for the cause of truth and
righteousness we take up arms
and go forth to conflict.
In this sacred war we are allied
with the eternal God, and if we
carefully obey the law of our
Lord Jesus, He is engaged to put
forth all His power on our
behalf.
Wherefore we fear no man.
"Lord Dictated
Them"
