Deuteronomy chapter 3. And let's
begin reading in verse 23. And let's look at the remainder
of this chapter tonight. Deuteronomy chapter 3 and verse
23. And I besought the Lord at that
time saying, O Lord God, Thou hast begun to show Thy servant
Thy greatness and Thy mighty hand for what God is there in
heaven or in earth. that can do according to thy
works and according to thy might. I pray thee, let me go over and
see the good land that is beyond Jordan, the goodly mountain,
and Lebanon. But the Lord was wrought with
me, He was angry with me for your sakes, and would not hear
me. And the Lord said unto me, Let
it suffice thee, speak no more unto me of this matter. Get thee
up unto the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward,
and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with
thine eyes, for thou shalt not go over this Jordan. But charge
Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him, for he shall
go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit
the land which thou shalt see. So we abode in the valley over
against Bethlehem. pure. In verse 23, we're told
something about this great man, this faithful man. He besought
the Lord. That's his confession, wasn't
it? I sought the Lord at that time. This word besought means
to stoop, to bend, to bow, to approach someone that is your
superior. And to do it, Making requests. Making petitions. Asking, even
begging. I besought the Lord at that time. You know, all great men of the
Bible prayed because they understood who made them great. That it
was God that made them great. It was God that used them. And
you find them in prayer. You find great men of the Bible
praying. Here was one of the greatest
men in the Old Testament. Famous down in Egypt. A leader
of twelve great tribes. And where do you find him? Beseeching
the Lord. Praying. You see this in Daniel. You see it in David, the sweet
psalmist of Israel. You see it in all the prophets.
You see it in the apostles. You see all of these great men
praying. Great women of the Bible. Hannah. was a great woman, wasn't she?
And she besought the Lord. Anna, there in the temple in
Luke 1, she served the Lord day and night with prayers and fasting.
She besought the Lord. But you know, it's not just great
men and great women and famous and renowned in the Scripture.
There were some men and women who weren't famous, who were
nobodies, who came and sought the Lord. Remember the leper? A man that was full of leprosy?
This is what was said about him. He sought the Lord. He came unto
the Lord, bowed down at His feet, and besought Him. Lord, if You
will, You can make me clean. The woman of Cana, the Canaanite
woman, she came and besought the Lord Jesus and said, Would
You have mercy on me? My daughter is grievously vexed
with the devil. So, anybody, anybody, He may have a great
reputation. He may be a nobody. He may be
a man or a woman, an old person or a child, but anybody who will
come to the Lord by faith, who will come to the Lord in reverence,
approaching Him, is permitted to come into His presence and
pray unto Him. And I tell you, I don't have
any desire to be great. But I do want to serve the Lord
in my generation. I want to do what the Lord would
have me to do. He's called me to preach the
gospel, and that's what I want to do. And to do that, I know
this, is going to take its strength. And for you to serve the Lord,
whether you're a preacher, whether you're a lady, whether you just
go about your daily work in this world, you need the Lord. You need to
serve the Lord. And the way we do that is by
His strength. So He invites us to come boldly
to the throne of grace, doesn't He? Beseeching Him, I besought
the Lord. And I hope that is our confession. When we get old, Moses was 120
years old, and he still said, I besought the Lord. I hope that's
said of us when we get old and we're ready to depart this life.
that we can look back on a Christian life that we say, my life has
been a life of prayer. I've been a seeker of the Lord.
I've been a caller upon the Lord. And notice his prayer. I love
to look at the prayer of these old saints of old. We find some
prayers. We find some wonderful prayers.
Daniel chapter 9, if you want to read an interesting prayer
sometime, read the prayer of Daniel in Daniel chapter 9. and
the apostles, how those men prayed sometimes, how they approached
God. And notice how God-centered this
prayer was. In verse 24, O Lord God, Thou
hast begun to show Thy servant Thy greatness and Thy mighty
hand. Thy greatness and Thy mighty
hand. God had begun to show him His
greatness and His mighty hand. Look what he had done down to
Egypt. Egypt was one of the mightiest
nations and maybe the most mighty nation at this time in the world. And look what a mighty king they
had. And look how the Lord humbled
those people. Look how He brought Pharaoh to
nothing. And He said, for this same cause
I have raised you up. that I might show My power, My
greatness, My mighty hand in you." Sit in darkness. One time
He sent a darkness upon His kingdom that you could feel it. I mean,
a light wouldn't even shine out of that darkness. He sent flies. He sent fleas. He sent frogs. He turned the rivers to blood,
didn't He? Oh, show this mighty power. And
on that night, The firstborn, the death of the firstborn. Boy,
he humbled Pharaoh that night, didn't he? I mean, the next morning,
Pharaoh was crying and called for Moses and Aaron and said,
all of you leave. Take all your substance and just
get out of here. The Lord's hand, the Lord's mighty
hand had humbled that man. Moses said, you begin to show
me your power. The power of that blood Down
there in Egypt when they sprinkled the blood? Don't you think the
Lord taught him something that night about the power of redeeming
blood? It turned the death angel, didn't
it? Oh, you've not only showed me your mighty hand against your
enemies, you showed me your mighty hand of redemption. The blood
turned your wrath away. And there he walks up, Moses
walks up to the Red Sea. and holds out that staff, and
that sea parts right in the middle. Can you imagine that? Somebody
says, you know, they could have went through on ankle-deep water.
No. They walked across that sea's
mist. The Scripture says they went
through the mist. They went through the depths
of that sea on dry land. He not only parted the waters,
He dried up the land. Those walls were probably, nobody
knows how high, but if they went through the midst of that sea,
a million and a half people or so, those walls could have been
standing a hundred, two hundred, or three hundred foot high on
each side of them. And Moses said, you've showed
me your greatness. You've showed me your mighty
hand. It was you that parted that. They come out into the
wilderness after He had drowned in Pharaoh and the sea. God Himself a great name. They
come out into the wilderness. They have no water. And what
does the Lord do by His mighty power? He splits a rock. He splits a flint rock. And a river gushes out of the
flint and floods the place. And the water follows them, and
they have water. They are hungry, so what happens?
The Lord sends manna every morning for forty years and feeds them
there in the wilderness. And then we come up to these
two kings, these two mighty kings of the Amorites, the giants,
two nations full of giants with their cities walled up to heaven.
And what does the Lord do? He shows His greatness. He shows
the might of His hand and He delivers those two kings and
all those two nations of giants into the hands of His people.
And they slaughter them. And they take their cities. Oh,
Moses said, you begin to show your servant your greatness and
your mighty hand. And what happens? What happens
when the Lord begins to show a man Himself? When the Lord
begins to show you Himself, His greatness, His goodness, His
love, His redeeming mercy, Himself, His power, when He begins to
show a man that, what kind of estimate does that man put on
God? What's his opinion of God when the Lord begins to let him
see His mighty hand and His greatness? Well, look what he says in the
last portion of verse 24. For what God is there in heaven
or in earth that can do according to thy works and according to
thy might? He's got an estimation of God. He's got an opinion of God that's
high. The heathen used to own that
there's many gods. They had gods of the hills and
they had gods of the valleys. They had gods of the towns and
gods of the country. All nations had their own god.
And the heathen bragged about their god. Who has the greatest
god? So Moses said, let's suppose there's many gods. There's no
god like this god. He's the great god. He's the
mighty god. There's no god like him. What
god is there in heaven or in earth that can do according to
thy work? and according to thy might. And I'm telling you, when the
Lord opens our hearts to let us see who He is, we'll say the
same thing that Moses said. There is no God else. There's
no God like You. There's no God that can do like
You do. Oh, in the Trinity of His person,
is there another triune God? We never read of one, do we?
Even among the false gods, I've never read where anybody that
knew anything about history of this world, anybody ever confessed
to God that was a triune God. The Father, the Son, and the
Holy Ghost. Yet that's our God. That's the
God of the Bible, the God of Christianity. Eternal, perfect
in all His divine attributes, revealing His mighty works in
creation, Don't we see God's glory in creation? I'll tell
you what He did. He created everything out of
nothing. That's amazing, isn't it? He spake and it was done. And what does He do now in His
providence? He rules the world. He upholds
those things which He made by His own power. He rises up nations. He sets down nations. He brings
all the seasons. He sends fruitful seasons. He
sends the rain from heaven. He causes the sun to rise upon
the good and the evil. In His providence, He is ruling
and upholding all things. That is our God. There is none
like Him in all this world. Pulling down nations and setting
up nations, judging the wicked, and His mighty works in salvation. What has He done in salvation?
He has done everything, hasn't He? eternal redemption. He's calling out His people,
Clarence, to this very day. He'll finish the work. For them,
He's finished it. Now He's finishing it in them.
He will do it. Why does He do this? Well, to show us there's
no God like Him in heaven or in earth that can do according
to His works and according to His might. And when He makes
Himself known, We'll say here with Moses, Lord, there's nobody
like you. There's nobody like you. I don't
like to hear people pray and never exalt God. Never exalt
our Lord. We can learn from these prayers,
can't we? When we pray, I think one of
the first things we should do is just go right to Him and begin
to brag on our Lord. Just tell Him who He is. Tell
Him how great He is. Tell him what he's done. Tell
him how there's no God besides him. Just brag on him. I think
he likes to hear that. Don't you love to hear your children
brag what a great dad you are? Daddy, there's nobody like you,
buddy. Ain't no other daddy. There may be some other daddies,
but no daddy like you. Oh, there may be some that profess
to be God, but they're not like our God. Paul said to us, there's
but one God. and one Lord Jesus Christ. And
He has showed us. Has He not? He showed us. Ephesians chapter 1. Ephesians
chapter 3 tells us that He showed us the exceeding
greatness of His power. Hold chapter 3 up here for a
minute and turn over there and read it. We've read this so often,
but look in Ephesians chapter 1. This is what Paul prayed for
the Ephesian church, the believers there in the church. He always
was making mention of them in his prayer. Here's what he asked
the Lord to do for these Christians in Ephesus. Look in Ephesians
1, verse 17. Here's what he said, I pray for,
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory,
may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation," look
at this, "...in the knowledge of Him." That you know Him, that
you know Him better. You see His greatness in His
mighty hand. "...the eyes of your understanding
being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His
calling, that you may know what is the riches of the glory of
His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness
of His power to usward who believe? And how do we believe? According
to the working of His mighty power, the same working which
He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and
set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places. That
you may know is power. Know it where? Well, look in
chapter 3. Here He prays for them again.
Look what He says in verse 16. That He would grant you, verse
16 chapter 3, that He would grant you according to the riches of
His glory to be strengthened with might by His Spirit, strengthened
with might by His Spirit in the inner man. And look what He said
in verse 20. Unto Him that is able to do exceeding,
abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the
power that worketh in us." Power. The power of our Lord. The power
of His mighty hand. I tell you, nobody has done for
us and nobody has done in us what He's done. Because no other
God could do for us and in us what our Lord has done. And we
recognize it, don't we? And like Moses, We bow and worship
Him. We ascribe all glory to Him.
We have a high opinion of our Lord and our God and our Savior. But notice what Moses said here
in verse 24. He said something else. This
is very interesting. O Lord, Thou hast begun to show. Just begun. That's all it is. Just begun. Those who have seen most have
seen very little of God's glory and God's power. Now, you would
think a man who saw the Lord part the Red Sea, you would think
a man like that would say, Lord, I've seen all of Your glory.
I have seen most of Your glory. But this man had such an estimation
of God and His greatness, he said, I saw very little. I saw
very little. All I have saw has been wonderful. It has impressed me and I have
glorified you for it." But he said, you are so great. What
I have seen of you is just the beginning of your glory. Just
the beginning. I think this is why he wanted
to go on the other side of Jordan. He saw what the Lord did to these
two great kings and the nations. But he said, that's just the
beginning of what you're going to do. That's just the beginning
of what you can do. Wait till they get on the other
side of Jordan. And brothers and sisters, you
and I say the same thing. We who have seen something of
His grace, the power of His goodness, the greatness of His love to
us in saving us, His kindness towards us, we've seen very little
as to what we're going to see when we get there. Now we see
through a glass darkly, do we not? Now we live by faith. We see so little. The glory that's
ahead, the glory that's ahead is so much more than the glory
we've seen here. The knowledge of Christ that
we'll have yonder is so much more than what we have here.
It's not worthy to be compared with one another. That's what I'm waiting for,
aren't you? That's what I'm waiting for. I'm waiting to see His face,
to know Him as I've longed to know Him here, worship Him as
I've longed to worship Him here, and I've never been able to.
But yonder, His power, His grace will remove every hindrance.
We'll see Him, we'll know Him as we're known. There's, in this life, on this
side of Jordan, you see, there's a vast difference on this side
of Jordan and the other side of Jordan, ain't there? That
was a beautiful land that the Lord had given these two and
a half tribes. It was beautiful. It was gorgeous.
But Moses said, it ain't to be compared with the land of Canaan.
This is wonderful. I love being here with you. This
is heaven to me. Out there in the world, you just
labor. You're full of grief and cares and burdens. But boy, you
come here. This is the closest thing we
have to heaven. It's wonderful. I love it. But boy, it's not
heaven, is it? Wait till we get there. The half
has never been told of His greatness and His power. What God is like
unto our God. We've just begun, brothers and
sisters. We've just begun. And He says
here in verse 25, I pray thee, let me go over Let me see the
good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon. You know what I think? I really
think. Now, this is what I think. I think the Scripture teaches
this, though. I believe Moses implies this here about this
goodly mountain. You know one of the things I
think he wanted? That goodly mountain. I don't
know what other mountain he'd been talking about but Mount
Moriah. That's where Abraham offered
Isaac. That's where the temple was built. That beautiful temple
Solomon built. There is Mount Calvary outside
the temple. You go north to Lebanon where
they have those giant cedar trees. I would have loved to have seen
them. That's where they cut down those trees and floated them
and came down and set them in the temple. Cut them down up
in Lebanon and carved them out and floated them down and fit
them one to another. Made the temple out of that.
It was up there not far from the Sea of Galilee where the
Master walked on it and fished in it and preached in the boat
out on the Sea of Galilee. I thank Moses. This is what I
think about Moses. I think he had such a knowledge,
such a revelation of the coming of the Son of God to this land
of promise that he wanted to go there and see what our Master's
eyes would see. Walk where our Master's feet
would walk. Stand where he stood on the Sea
of Galilee, God incarnate, the Son of God incarnate, knowing
in his heart My Master, my Lord, the Son of God incarnate is going
to walk and stand right where I stand. Now, you may not have
any desire to go to Palestine. I don't know. Most people don't.
You know I do. It's so commercialized over there
today, but I would love to go over there. I have a book of sermons by Mr. Talmadge. pastored a big tabernacle
in New York City in 1900, he went to Palestine. And he said
it was almost the same there in 1900 as it was when our Lord
walked on this earth. He'd go to different places and
there he'd sit and write a sermon. I read a sermon where he sat
on Jacob's well and he said it's the same wood that was here when
our Master sat there. He dropped a pebble and see how
long it took for the pebble to hit the water. I'd just love
to go over there. I'm sorry I don't have anything
to do with my faith. I'd just love, if I had the opportunity,
to sit down there on Jacob's well where my master and your
master sat and waited on the woman to come to say, I'd just
like that. I think that's what Moses wanted
to do. I think that's why he had such a burning desire to
go. Because he knew that not long after his death, The Lord
from glory was coming down to this earth and brought it on
a tabernacle among men. What did the Lord tell him? No, you can't go, did he? You can't go. I pray thee, let
me go over. In verse 26, here's the way he
tells it. This is amazing. But the Lord
was angry with me, He was wrought with me for your sakes, and would
not hear me, would not answer me, give me the answer I desire.
And the Lord said unto me, let it suffice thee, speak no more
unto me of this matter. The Lord was angry with me."
That's amazing, eh? We don't always understand this,
and we don't always deal with it properly. But the Lord can
be angry with His children. the cause of their sins. Not
an anger that will damn them. I hope we are settled on that.
But an anger that may well chasten them sore. An anger that may
withhold His presence from them for a time. And that is almost
hell, isn't it? A rod of correction that may
deny them a blessing, even a great blessing that they desire. in
their lives. Why didn't Moses get to go over
into the land of Canaan? The Lord told him in another
place, you disobeyed Me. He told him in another place,
and get this, you rebelled against My commandment. And therefore,
he said, the Lord was angry with me. He paid a dear price. He paid a dear price. Learn something from this, brothers
and sisters. Let us learn something from this.
You and I never have a right to sin against our God. We never have a right to sin
against our God. Our sins are never pleasing unto
the Lord. We have no right to do anything
but to obey His will. We are not our own. We're brought
with a price, and we have no right to do anything but to glorify
our God by living in obedience to His revealed will. We have no right but to read
and obey the plain instructions from the Word of God. No matter
what it may cost us, we have no right ever to disobey. Somebody said, I have a right
to thank for myself. We really don't. We really don't. Listen to this. Whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are honest and just and pure and
lovely and of good report, think on these things. I have no right
to think on anything but what the Word of God tells me to think
upon. We have no right to think or
speak or do but according as our Lord instructs us. And anything
short of this may cost us dearly. It cost Adam, didn't it? Simply,
simply by neglecting to hear her. It cost Adam paradise. It cost Moses to be shut out
of the land of promise. It cost Aaron to be stripped
of his priestly garments. It cost David a child. It costs King Saul his kingdom,
his crown. And it will cost you, and it
will cost me, if we live in disobedience to our Lord. Joe and I were sat
in Eden Supper this afternoon, and where we were eating had
the TV on, and there was this documentary on atheism. And the one woman was talking
about, you know, basically she was waiting to go to hell. She
said hell is going to be a continual party. How does she know there's a hell?
Why does she believe in hell? She only believes in hell because
the Bible teaches there's a hell. But for her to say and think
that is rebellion against God. We're living in a day, are we
not, where people are so willful that they suppose they can think
whatever they want to think. They can say whatever they want
to say. They can do whatever they want
to do. They can have an attitude, they
can please themselves, and they think they have a right to that.
But nobody has a right to anything, to do or say or think or to go
or to not go, but as God commands it, and instructs it in His Word. No unbeliever has the right to
disobey God, and no child of God has any right to do anything
but to bow and obey the Lord. Don't we learn that from Moses?
If this man, if anybody could have gotten by with disobeying
the Lord, it would have been this man. You don't find many
places in the Bible where this man disobeyed. He was said to
be faithful in all his house. But here, he sinned. He rebelled. But he had no right,
did he? And it cost him dearly. And brothers
and sisters, I want this to be ground in our hearts. We're children
of God. We're brought with a great price.
But we have no right but what He gives us. We must never do
anything or think things. Let's quit thinking things, but
what He tells us to think. Believe what He tells us to believe.
Go where He tells us to go. Do what He tells us to do. Refrain
from what He tells us to refrain. Obedience unto our God and our
Savior. A servant has no business questioning
his master, does he? Or arguing with his master? It's
not the servant's place to worry about the consequences, but simply
to obey. To obey is better than sacrifice. Obedience. But look at this great man. Look
at this humble man. When the Lord tells him here
that he's not going to the land of Canaan because he sinned,
I know Moses confronted them and said, you were the cause
of it in one sense. You provoked me. But in other
places, and here, he took full responsibility for it. They needed
to hear that they had provoked him. They needed to hear that.
But he doesn't blame anybody else. He takes the blame himself,
doesn't he? The Lord was angry with me. Another place, he said, you didn't
glorify me. And Moses knew it, so here he
takes the blame. He doesn't cover it up. He doesn't
deny it. He doesn't worry. Boy, if I confess
this, it's going to really ruin my reputation with these people.
He owns it to be his. You know it's easy, and you and
I do this a lot, and it's really the easiest thing in the world,
is to own what great sinners we are. I can get up here in
front of you and I say, you just don't know what a loathsome sinner
I am. I am chief of sinners. And I can just go on and on and
on about that, and it's so easy to do. But for me to get up here and
tell you, listen, I have said something that has displeased
God, and this is what I've done. Boy, that's tough now. I have sinned. I have done this.
This is what I've done. I have sinned. And I tell you
the particular way that I've sinned. That's tough, ain't it? That's tough. But this great
man did it. He did it. Boy, he was an honest man, wasn't
he? A great man, but he was a meek man and an honest man. Here in verse 27, we just sang
about this, didn't we? I thought about this today as
I was reading this verse. Get thee up into the top of Pisgah
and lift up your eyes eastward and westward and northward and
southward. See the land. See the land. from Mount Pisgah's
lofty heights. If you wonder where the writer
got that song, this is where they got it. From Mount Pisgah's
lofty heights. I don't know what happened to
Moses on this mountain. It was the highest peak, they
tell us, of the mountain range of Mount Nebo. But he was up
on this high mountain, and I don't know, the Lord, His eyes were
clear. But to see all the way to the
north, and to see all the way to the south, and come on out
to the Mediterranean Sea on the west side and all these, the
Lord must have strengthened his vision to see all of that hundreds
of miles. But that's what he saw. That's
what he saw. You and I have studied some on
the government of God and the grace of God and the distinction
we make in them. The government of God kept him
out of Canaan. Kept him out. But the grace of
God let him see it. The grace of God let him see
it. He got a good view of it. He got a good view of the other
side. I wish I could see something about glory. Paul did, didn't
he? He went up there. He came back down. He couldn't
tell about it. He said, it's too wonderful. It's too wonderful. And here in verse 28, and we'll
close with this. But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen
him. For he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause
them to inherit the land which thou shalt see." Moses, bless his heart, he did
everything he could to get these people to the land of Canaan.
He was such a faithful man. He prayed for them. He sent spies
in order to get some proof to encourage them to go in. He encouraged
them to trust the Lord to get them there. Threatened them.
Did everything he could. But he could not get them, could
he? Could not get them into the promised land. But Joshua did. Joshua did. And you know this
is a good lesson. This is good theology right here.
Because this is law and grace. This is Moses and this is Christ. You know Joshua in the New Testament
is Jesus. Joshua in the Old Testament is
Jesus in the New Testament. The very same name they tell
me, Savior, Jesus, the Savior. That's probably one reason our
translators, you know, interchange themselves. But here, he says,
Joshua shall cause them to inherit the land. Moses couldn't cause
them to inherit it. Moses can't cause you and me
to inherit eternal life. But you know something? Jesus
can. He can cause us. He can cause
us. Let me read two places to you
in closing. Look here in Psalms chapter 65. Psalms chapter 65. Romans chapter 8 says, What the
law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God
sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and foreseeing
a sacrifice for sin, He put sin to death in His flesh. He put
it to death. What the law could not do, Christ
did. And I tell you something else
Moses can't do. He can come to our conscience, He can torment
us, He can make us miserable, but He cannot cause us He cannot
cause us to come to Christ. I stayed under legal conviction
all through my teenage years. Moses beat me to death. He humbled me, but I'm telling
you, until Jesus stepped in, until the Holy Spirit stepped
in and drew me to Himself with cords of love, I didn't come. Somebody has to cause you to
come to Christ. Look what he says in Psalm 65,
and look in verse 4. Blessed is the man whom thou
choosest, and causes us to approach unto thee. Why did you come to
Christ? Remember when you came to Him?
Why did you come to Him? He caused you, didn't He? There's
a cause behind our coming to the Lord Jesus Christ. Well,
He hasn't done no more for me than He did for everybody else.
Oh? He's caused you. He's caused
you to do what He did not cause somebody else to do. This is
the difference between Jesus and Moses. Oh, He uses Moses
to humble us, don't He? Yeah, to convict us. But we'll
continue there until we die. If somebody don't cause us to
turn and cause us to come and cause us to believe, there's
a cause behind our coming. Look at Ezekiel chapter 36 and
verse 27. Ezekiel chapter 36 and verse 27. Ezekiel 36, 27. This is a covenant
promise. Ezekiel 36, 27. I will put My
Spirit within you, and look at this, I will cause you to walk
in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them. If any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature. And I assure you, he will walk
different because the Lord causes him to. Why are you here tonight? Has He not caused you to be here?
Has He not removed every hindrance? You could very easily have been
hindered from being here tonight. Sometimes we are, are we not?
And we can't help it. But we're here tonight, and why
are we here? He caused us. This is His ordinance. This is His command. This is
His rule for us to gather, for us to assemble. And He's caused
us to walk that way. Tonight, probably you'll go home
and you'll pray. That's the Christian walk, isn't
it? You know why you'll pray? He causes you to. This weekend,
you've got some money laid back that you purpose to give to the
cause of our Lord. You run into a poor person that
needs, and what do you do? You help him. Why? There's a
cause. There's a cause in everything
you do in walking by faith and serving Him. And who is it that
calls you? It's Him that calls you. What Moses, what the law, cannot
do for us, our Master does. He does. and bless His name forever.
