“They shall go hindmost with their standards.” — Numbers 2:31
The camp of Dan brought up the rear when the armies of Israel were on the march. The Danites occupied the hindmost place, but what mattered the position, since they were as truly part of the host as were the foremost tribes; they followed the same fiery cloudy pillar, they ate of the same manna, drank of the same spiritual rock, and journeyed to the same inheritance. Come, my heart, cheer up, though last and least; it is thy privilege to be in the army, and to fare as they fare who lead the van. Some one must be hindmost in honour and esteem, some one must do…
menial
work for Jesus, and why should not I? In a poor village, among an ignorant
peasantry; or in a back street, among degraded sinners, I will work on, and
“go hindmost with my standard.”
The Danites occupied a very useful place. Stragglers have to be picked up
upon the march, and lost property has to be gathered from the field. Fiery
spirits may dash forward over untrodden paths to learn fresh truth, and
win more souls to Jesus; but some of a more conservative spirit may be
well engaged in reminding the church of her ancient faith, and restoring her
fainting sons. Every position has its duties, and the slowly moving
children of God will find their peculiar state one in which they may be
eminently a blessing to the whole host.
The rear guard is a place of danger. There are foes behind us as well as
before us. Attacks may come from any quarter. We read that Amalek fell
upon Israel, and slew some of the hindmost of them. The experienced
Christian will find much work for his weapons in aiding those poor
doubting, desponding, wavering, souls, who are hindmost in faith,
knowledge, and joy. These must not be left unaided, and therefore be it the
business of well-taught saints to bear their standards among the hindmost.
My soul, do thou tenderly watch to help the hindmost this day.
