What a lesson is
here for all of the Lord's people of spiritual Israel today!
When our proudest, strongest foes seem triumphing over us the
most, when they are loudest in their denunciations of the Lord and
his promises, is the very time when we should lay hold on the
Lord's promises with the greatest confidence.
Indeed, we give it as our experience that those who are most
thoroughly rooted and grounded, whose hopes are most surely
anchored within the veil, are those who have been attested very
trying experiences, and have had occasion to call mightily upon
the Lord for help, when there was no earthly arm to lean upon.
How many have found that the breaking of earthly ties has meant
the strengthening of the heavenly ones, that the opposition of the
world and the Adversary has meant increase of spiritual favor,
because "greater is he that is for us than all they that
be against us." (1Jn.4:4)
