“Thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee”
Deuteronomy 33:29
OVER JORDAN WITH SINGING
That arch-enemy, the devil, is a liar from the
beginning; but he is so very plausible that,
like mother Eve, we are led to believe him. Yet
in our experience we shall prove him a liar.
He says that we shall fall from grace, dishonor
our profession, and perish with the doom of
apostates; but, trusting in the Lord Jesus, we
shall hold on our way and prove that Jesus loses
none whom His Father gave Him.
He tells us that our bread will fail, and we
shall starve with our children; yet the Feeder
of the ravens has not forgotten us yet, and He
will never do so, but will prepare us a table in
the presence of our enemies.
He whispers that the Lord will not deliver us
out of the trial which is looming in the
distance, and he threatens that the last ounce
will break the camel’s back. What a liar he is!
For the Lord will never leave us, nor forsake
us. “Let him deliver him now!” cries the false
fiend: but the Lord will silence him by coming
to our rescue.
He takes great delight in telling us that
death will prove too much for us.
“How wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?”
But there also he shall prove a liar unto us,
and we shall pass through the river singing
psalms of glory.
