Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God...2 Corinthians 5:20 King James Version (KJV)

The vanguard and rear guard of the Church


BEAUTIFUL GUATEMALA

The vanguard and rear guard of the Church

“The Lord will go before you; 
and the God of Israel will be your rereward.” 
Isaiah 52:12

Suggested Further Reading:
 Ezra 8:21-23 and 31-32

We shall soon launch into another year, and hitherto we have found our years to be years of trouble. 
We have had mercies, but still we find this house of our pilgrimage is not an abiding city, not a mansion of peace and comfort. 

Perhaps we are trembling to go forward. 
Foreseeing trouble, we know not how we shall be able to endure to the end. 

We are standing here and pausing for a while, sitting down upon the stone of our Ebenezer to rest ourselves, gazing dubiously into the future, saying, “Alas! What shall I do? Surely, 
I shall one day fall by the hand of the enemy.”

 Brother, arise, arise; anoint your head, and wash your face, and fast no longer; 
let this sweet morsel now cheer you; 
put this cup to your lips, and let your eyes be enlightened: 
“The Lord Jehovah will go before you.” 

He has gone before you already. 
Your future path has all been marked out in the great decrees of his predestination. 
You shall not tread a step which is not mapped out in the great chart of God’s decree. 

Your troubles have been already weighed for you in the scales of his love;
 your labour is already set aside for you to accomplish by the hand of his wisdom. 
Depend upon it, your:-

“Times of trial and of grief,
Times of triumph and relief,
All shall come and last and end
As shall please your heavenly Friend.”

Remember, you are not a child of chance. 
If you were, you might indeed fear. 
You will go nowhere next year except where God shall send you.

For meditation: 

Fear of the future and fear of the unknown still have to be faced by the believer.
 But the Christian has the remedy to such fear—a great God who knows the future and who leads the way (Acts 20:22-24; Hebrews 11:8-10).
