“The daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.” — Isaiah 37:22
Reassured by the Word of the Lord, the poor trembling citizens of Zion
grew bold, and shook their heads at Sennacherib’s boastful threats. Strong
faith enables the servants of God to look with calm contempt upon their
most haughty foes. We know that our enemies are attempting
impossibilities. They seek to destroy the eternal life, which cannot die
while Jesus lives; to overthrow the citadel, against which the gates of hell
shall not prevail. They kick against the pricks to their own wounding, and
rush upon the bosses of Jehovah’s buckler to their own hurt.
We know their weakness. What are they but…
men? And what is man but a
worm? They roar and swell like waves of the sea, foaming out their own
shame. When the Lord ariseth, they shall fly as chaff before the wind, and
be consumed as crackling thorns. Their utter powerlessness to do damage
to the cause of God and His truth, may make the weakest soldiers in
Zion’s ranks laugh them to scorn.
Above all, we know that the Most High is with us, and when He dresses
Himself in arms, where are His enemies? If He cometh forth from His
place, the potsherds of the earth will not long contend with their Maker.
His rod of iron shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel, and their
very remembrance shall perish from the earth. Away, then, all fears, the
kingdom is safe in the King’s hands. Let us shout for joy, for the Lord
reigneth, and His foes shall be as straw for the dunghill.
“As true as God’s own word is true; Nor earth, nor hell, with all their crew, Against us shall prevail.
A jest, and by-word, are they grown; God is with us, we are his own, Our victory cannot fail.”

“And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor?” — Jeremiah 2:18
By sundry miracles, by divers mercies, by strange deliverances Jehovah had proved Himself to be worthy of Israel’s trust. Yet they broke down the hedges with which God had enclosed them as a sacred garden; they forsook their own true and living God, and followed after false gods. Constantly did the Lord reprove them for this infatuation, and our text contains one instance of God’s expostulating with them, “What hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of the muddy river?” — for so it may be translated. “Why dost thou wander afar and leave thine own cool stream from Lebanon? Why dost thou forsake Jerusalem to turn aside to Noph and to Tahapanes? Why art thou so…
strangely set on mischief,
that thou canst not be content with the good and healthful, but wouldst
follow after that which is evil and deceitful?” Is there not here a word of
expostulation and warning to the Christian? O true believer, called by grace
and washed in the precious blood of Jesus, thou hast tasted of better drink
than the muddy river of this world’s pleasure can give thee; thou hast had
fellowship with Christ; thou hast obtained the joy of seeing Jesus, and
leaning thine head upon His bosom. Do the trifles, the songs, the honours,
the merriment of this earth content thee after that? Hast thou eaten the
bread of angels, and canst thou live on husks? Good Rutherford once said,
“I have tasted of Christ’s own manna, and it hath put my mouth out of
taste for the brown bread of this world’s joys.” Methinks it should be so
with thee. If thou art wandering after the waters of Egypt, O return
quickly to the one living fountain: the waters of Sihor may be sweet to the
Egyptians, but they will prove only bitterness to thee. What hast thou to
do with them? Jesus asks thee this question this evening — what wilt thou
answer Him?

“The earnest of our inheritance.” — Ephesians 1:14
Oh! what enlightenment, what joys, what consolation, what delight of heart is experienced by that man who has learned to feed on Jesus, and on Jesus alone. Yet the realization which we have of Christ’s preciousness is, in this life, imperfect at the best. As an old writer says, “‘Tis but a taste!” We have tasted “that the Lord is gracious,” but we do not yet know how good and gracious He is, although what we know of His sweetness makes us long for more. We have enjoyed the firstfruits of the Spirit, and they have set us hungering and thirsting for the fulness of the heavenly vintage. We groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption. Here we are like Israel in the wilderness, who had but one…
cluster from Eshcol, there we
shall be in the vineyard. Here we see the manna falling small, like coriander
seed, but there shall we eat the bread of heaven and the old corn of the
kingdom. We are but beginners now in spiritual education; for although we
have learned the first letters of the alphabet, we cannot read words yet,
much less can we put sentences together; but as one says, “He that has
been in heaven but five minutes, knows more than the general assembly of
divines on earth.” We have many ungratified desires at present, but soon
every wish shall be satisfied; and all our powers shall find the sweetest
employment in that eternal world of joy. O Christian, antedate heaven for
a few years. Within a very little time thou shalt be rid of all thy trials and
thy troubles. Thine eyes now suffused with tears shall weep no longer.
Thou shalt gaze in ineffable rapture upon the splendour of Him who sits
upon the throne. Nay, more, upon His throne shalt thou sit. The triumph
of His glory shall be shared by thee; His crown, His joy, His paradise,
these shall be thine, and thou shalt be co-heir with Him who is the heir of
all things.

“A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench.” — Matthew 12:20
What is weaker than the bruised reed or the smoking flax? A reed that groweth in the fen or marsh, let but the wild duck light upon it, and it snaps; let but the foot of man brush against it, and it is bruised and broken; every wind that flits across the river moves it to and fro. You can conceive of nothing more frail or brittle, or whose existence is more in jeopardy, than a bruised reed. Then look at the smoking flax — what is it? It has a spark within it, it is true, but it is almost smothered; an infant’s breath might blow it out; nothing has a more precarious existence than its flame. Weak things are here described, yet Jesus says of them, “The smoking flax I will not quench; the bruised reed I will not break.” Some of God’s children are…
made strong to do mighty works for Him; God has His
Samsons here and there who can pull up Gaza’s gates, and carry them to
the top of the hill; He has a few mighties who are lion-like men, but the
majority of His people are a timid, trembling race. They are like starlings,
frightened at every passer by; a little fearful flock. If temptation comes,
they are taken like birds in a snare; if trial threatens, they are ready to
faint; their frail skiff is tossed up and down by every wave, they are
drifted along like a sea bird on the crest of the billows — weak things,
without strength, without wisdom, without foresight. Yet, weak as they
are, and because they are so weak, they have this promise made specially
to them. Herein is grace and graciousness! Herein is love and
lovingkindness! How it opens to us the compassion of Jesus — so gentle,
tender, considerate! We need never shrink back from His touch. We need
never fear a harsh word from Him; though He might well chide us for our
weakness, He rebuketh not. Bruised reeds shall have no blows from Him,
and the smoking flax no damping frowns.

“The Lord our God hath shewed us His glory.” — Deuteronomy 5:24
God’s great design in all His works is the manifestation of His own glory. Any aim less than this were unworthy of Himself. But how shall the glory of God be manifested to such fallen creatures as we are? Man’s eye is not single, he has ever a side glance towards his own honour, has too high an estimate of his own powers, and so is not qualified to behold the glory of the Lord. It is clear, then, that self must stand out of the way, that there may be room for God to be exalted; and this is the reason why He bringeth His people ofttimes into straits and difficulties, that, being made conscious of their own folly and weakness, they may be fitted to behold the majesty of God when He comes forth to work their deliverance. He whose life is…
one even and smooth path, will see but little of the glory of the Lord, for
he has few occasions of self-emptying, and hence, but little fitness for
being filled with the revelation of God. They who navigate little streams
and shallow creeks, know but little of the God of tempests; but they who
“do business in great waters,” these see His “wonders in the deep.”
Among the huge Atlantic-waves of bereavement, poverty, temptation, and
reproach, we learn the power of Jehovah, because we feel the littleness of
man. Thank God, then, if you have been led by a rough road: it is this
which has given you your experience of God’s greatness and
lovingkindness. Your troubles have enriched you with a wealth of
knowledge to be gained by no other means: your trials have been the cleft
of the rock in which Jehovah has set you, as He did His servant Moses,
that you might behold His glory as it passed by. Praise God that you have
not been left to the darkness and ignorance which continued prosperity
might have involved, but that in the great fight of affliction, you have been
capacitated for the outshinings of His glory in His wonderful dealings with
you.

“Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path.” — Joel 2:8
Locusts always keep their rank, and although their number is legion, they do not crowd upon each other, so as to throw their columns into confusion. This remarkable fact in natural history shows how thoroughly the a Lord has infused the spirit of order into His universe, since the smallest animate creatures are as much controlled by it as are the rolling spheres or the seraphic messengers. It would be wise for believers to be ruled by the same influence in all their spiritual life. In their Christian graces no one virtue should usurp the sphere of another, or eat out the vitals of the rest for its own support. Affection must not smother honesty, courage must not elbow weakness out of the field, modesty must not…
jostle energy, and patience must not slaughter resolution. So also with
our duties, one must not interfere with another; public usefulness must not
injure private piety; church work must not push family worship into a
corner. It is ill to offer God one duty stained with the blood of another.
Each thing is beautiful in its season, but not otherwise. It was to the
Pharisee that Jesus said, “This ought ye to have done, and not to have left
the other undone.” The same rule applies to our personal position, we
must take care to know our place, take it, and keep to it. We must minister
as the Spirit has given us ability, and not intrude upon our fellow servant’s
domain. Our Lord Jesus taught us not to covet the high places, but to be
willing to be the least among the brethren. Far from us be an envious,
ambitious spirit, let us feel the force of the Master’s command, and do as
He bids us, keeping rank with the rest of the host. To-night let us see
whether we are keeping the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace, and
let our prayer be that, in all the churches of the Lord Jesus, peace and
order may prevail.

“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.

“Let not one of them escape.” — 1 Kings 18:40
When the prophet Elijah had received the answer to his prayer, and the fire from heaven had consumed the sacrifice in the presence of all the people, he called upon the assembled Israelites to take the priests of Baal, and sternly cried, “Let not one of them escape.” He took them all down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. So must it be with our sins — they are all doomed, not one must be preserved. Our darling sin must die. Spare it not for its much crying. Strike, though it be as dear as an Isaac. Strike, for God struck at sin when it was laid upon His own Son. With stern unflinching purpose must you condemn to death that sin which was once the idol of your heart. Do you ask how you are to accomplish this? Jesus will be your power. You have grace to overcome sin given you in the covenant of grace; you have…
strength to win the victory in the crusade
against inward lusts, because Christ Jesus has promised to be with you
even unto the end. If you would triumph over darkness, set yourself in the
presence of the Sun of Righteousness. There is no place so well adapted
for the discovery of sin, and recovery from its power and guilt, as the
immediate presence of God. Job never knew how to get rid of sin half so
well as he did when his eye of faith rested upon God, and then he abhorred
himself, and repented in dust and ashes. The fine gold of the Christian is
oft becoming dim. We need the sacred fire to consume the dross. Let us fly
to our God, He is a consuming fire; He will not consume our spirit, but our
sins. Let the goodness of God excite us to a sacred jealousy, and to a holy
revenge against those iniquities which are hateful in His sight. Go forth to
battle with Amalek in His strength, and utterly destroy the accursed crew:
let not one of them escape.

“Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.” — 1 Thessalonians 1:4
Many persons want to know their election before they look to Christ, but they cannot learn it thus, it is only to be discovered by “looking unto Jesus.” If you desire to ascertain your own election; — after the following manner, shall you assure your heart before God. Do you feel yourself to be a lost, guilty sinner? go straightway to the cross of Christ, and tell Jesus so, and tell Him that you have read in the Bible, “Him that cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out.” Tell Him that He has said, “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” Look to Jesus and believe on Him, and you shall make proof of your election directly, for so surely as thou believest, thou art elect. If you will give yourself…
wholly up to Christ and trust Him,
then you are one of God’s chosen ones; but if you stop and say, “I want
to know first whether I am elect,” you ask you know not what. Go to
Jesus, be you never so guilty, just as you are. Leave all curious inquiry
about election alone. Go straight to Christ and hide in His wounds, and
you shall know your election. The assurance of the Holy Spirit shall be
given to you, so that you shall be able to say, “I know whom I have
believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have
committed to Him.” Christ was at the everlasting council: He can tell you
whether you were chosen or not; but you cannot find it out in any other
way. Go and put your trust in Him, and His answer will be — “I have
loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore with lovingkindness have I
drawn thee.” There will be no doubt about His having chosen you, when
you have chosen Him.
“Sons we are through God’s election,
Who in Jesus Christ believe.”

“Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time is come. For Thy servants rake pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.” — Psalm 102:13, 14
A selfish man in trouble is exceedingly hard to comfort, because the springs of his comfort entirely within himself, and when he is sad all his springs are dry. But a large-hearted man full of Christian philanthropy, has other springs from which to supply himself with comfort beside those which lie within. He can go to his God first of all, and there find abundant help; and he can discover arguments for consolation in things relating to the world at large, to his country, and, above all, to the church. David in this Psalm was exceedingly sorrowful; he wrote, “I am like an owl of the desert, I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.” The only way in which he could comfort himself, was in the…
reflection that God
would arise, and have mercy upon Zion: though he was sad, yet Zion
should prosper; however low his own estate, yet Zion should arise.
Christian man! learn to comfort thyself in God’s gracious dealing towards
the church. That which is so dear to thy Master, should it not be dear
above all else to thee? What though thy way be dark, canst thou not
gladden thine heart with the triumphs of His cross and the spread of His
truth? Our own personal troubles are forgotten while we look, not only
upon what God has done, and is doing for Zion, but on the glorious things
He will yet do for His church. Try this receipt, O believer, whenever thou
art sad of heart and in heaviness of spirit: forget thyself and thy little
concerns, and seek the welfare and prosperity of Zion. When thou bendest
thy knee in prayer to God, limit not thy petition to the narrow circle of
thine own life, tried though it be, but send out thy longing prayers for the
church’s prosperity, “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,” and thine own
soul shall be refreshed.
