Numbers 10:12-13

Moses gives a further account of this, Deuteronomy 1:6. But Reader! do not forget to remark with me, that though Israel moved forward towards Canaan at the command of GOD, the removal was but from one wilderness to another. Reader, it is so and must be so, wholly through life. Wheresoever we are, howsoever situated, still while this side the land of promise, we are in a wilderness state. While we are at home in the body, we are absent from the LORD. But, how precious the thought, JESUS though unseen, and too often unacknowledged, is ever with us. Reader! turn to those delightful promises in the moment of thinking on the subject. Matthew 28:20; Isaiah 43:1, etc.
