Myst iv revelation push the grass aside9/23/2023 ![]() You neglect the Scriptures on the plea that you are already saved and that all you need is a few little rules by which you can guide your course,―something like a navigator on a merchant vessel, who can take his bearings, and know how to steer his ship, but at the same time is ignorant of the mighty works of God and passes heedlessly under that which speaks of the glory of God, the firmament which showeth His handiwork. Why is it that Satan has such power over the people of God, dragging them into the world, occupying them with its thoughts? It is because they neglect the word of God. In grace Moses has the highest place, but in government he must be with the lowest, under the mighty hand of God. But it is the leader himself―Moses―the one who had led them out of Egypt, who had borne with all their folly and Shortcomings in the desert, who had brought them to the border of the land-who for one act of haste, which dishonored God is singled out in order to show, as I said, that inflexible judgment which ever belongs to His house. It is not merely the failing Israelite who is not allowed to enter into the land, not merely the stumbled one of insignificant place or of little value in the work of God. ![]() In one way it seems infinitely pathetic that the man who had been most faithful to God in his day and generation, should be the one singled out by Him to mark the inflexible righteousness which is ever exercised in His house. I do not speak of it being a penalty for his conduct. In the other scripture we have Moses viewing the land from a distance. As you notice, everything there tells us of the fertility of the land its hills and valleys its springs and water-courses its pomegranates, figs and oil olive―everything that was good for food, reminding one almost of the garden of Eden itself. ![]() In the first scripture you have it as that which provides the food for the soul. ![]()
