God Routes Fear

"Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination
against Israel" (Numbers 23:23).

How this should cut up root and branch all silly, superstitious fears! Even if
there were any truth in witchcraft and omens, they could not affect the people
of the LORD. Those whom God blessed, devils cannot curse.

Ungodly men, like Balaam, may cunningly plot the overthrow of the LORD's
Israel; but with all their secrecy and policy they are doomed to fail. Their
powder is damp; the edge of their sword is blunted. They gather together; but
as the LORD is not with them, they gather together in vain. We may sit still
and let them weave their nets, for we shall not be taken in them. Though they
call in the aid of Beelzebub and employ all his serpentine craft, it will avail
them nothing: the spells will not work, the divination will deceive them. What
a blessing this is! How it quiets the heart! God's Jacobs wrestle with God, but
none shall wrestle with them and prevail. God's Israels have to prevail against
them. We need not fear the fiend himself, nor any of those secret enemies whose
words are full of deceit and whose plans are deep and unfathomable. They cannot
hurt those who trust in the living God. We defy the devil and all his legions.

759 8.7. J. KENT
“He healeth the broken in heart.ö Ps. 147. 3

1 Jesus heals the broken-hearted;
O how sweet that sound to me!
Once beneath my sin he smarted,
Groaned, and bled to set me free.

2 By his sufferings, death, and merits; By his Godhead, blood, and pain;
Broken hearts, or wounded spirits,
Are at once made whole again.

3 Broken by the law’s loud thunder, To the cross for refuge flee!
O’er his pungent sorrows ponder,
’Tis his stripes that healeth thee.

4 Oil and wine to heal and cherish, Jesus still to Israel gives;
Nor shall e’er a sinner perish,
Who in his dear name believes.

5 In his righteousness confiding,
Sheltered safe beneath his wing;
Here they find a sure abiding,
And of covenant mercy sing.

6 Seek, my soul, no other healing,
But in Jesus’ balmy blood;
He, beneath the Spirit’s sealing,
Stands thy great High Priest with God.
