Among the Redeemed
Lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be redeemed among the nations. (Numbers 23:9)
Who would wish to dwell among the nations and to be numbered with them?
Why, even the professing church is such that to follow the Lord fully
within its bounds is very difficult.
There is such a mingling and mixing that one often sighs for
"a lodge in some vast wilderness."
Certain it is that the Lord would have His people follow a separated path as to the world
and come out decidedly and distinctly from it.
We are set apart by the divine decree, purchase, and calling, and our inward experience has made us greatly to differ from men of the world; and therefore our place is not
in their Vanity Fair, nor in their City of Destruction,
but in the narrow way where all true pilgrims must follow their Lord.
This may not only reconcile us to the world's cold shoulder and sneers but even cause us to accept them with pleasure as being a part of our covenant portion.
Our names are not in the same book, we are not of the same seed,
we are not bound for the same place,
neither are we trusting to the same guide;
therefore it is well that we are not of their number.
Only let us be found in the number of the redeemed,
and we are content to be off and solitary to the end of the chapter.
