“And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.” Now if God had called Moses to do it, God would provide the strength for him to do it. God always does that. He never asks you to do more than you can do. And if you feel like that you’re overworked or that you’re doing too much, then maybe you really are. Maybe that you’re doing more than God wants you to do. Because God will not overburden those that are His own.

“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.” Now, our invitation is the invitation Moses gave: Come and go with us. And if you’re listening to me today and you’re not a child of God, by faith in Jesus Christ, you can join the party. And we’re marching. We’re on the way; we’re going to the presence of Christ. We’re not a group that are marching because we’re better than anyone else, because we’re not. We’re sinners, saved by the grace of God. If you see yourself as a sinner and you need a Savior, turn to Him—by simple faith trust Him; join the march.

The Lord, when He redeemed us, He redeemed us by the blood of Christ; He paid a price. And now He’s given us as a gift back to the Lord Jesus Christ. We belong to Him. Now service to Him, friends, does not rest upon rules and regulations and laws. That’s not the way you serve the Lord Jesus. You serve Him now because you love Him. You’re in a new relationship to Him. You’ve been joined to Him; you’re part of Him. And what a thrill it is now to know you’re serving Him. And you’re not following little rules and regulations. You’ve been brought to a high place, and you want to please Him. How wonderful this is.

“At the commandment of the Lord the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the Lord they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.” So that Moses is not the one who decided whether they would march today or tomorrow or whether they’d stay in camp on the third day. God decided that. And we need to recognize that today. That the Lord Jesus Christ is head of the church. He should be the One to lead. He can’t even keep up with His church today; it’s going its own way. Men are having their own way, making their own decisions. But Christ is still head of His church, and those that are His will follow Him.

Friends, let’s understand this very clearly. Oh, you can sing a solo. You can preach a sermon. You can teach a Sunday school class. You can be an officer in the church, but you’re not effective. I’ll tell you right now—I don’t know who you are. But you’re not effective until you walk in the light of the Word of God, until you’re cleansed, until you have been to Him for cleansing. You see yourself in the light of the Word of God. You know you come short. And you go and make confession of your sin, and you know He forgives you.
