NEW COURSE NEEDED -
Down from Sand mountain, In
northern Alabama, came a hill
woman to pick up a little learning
in thp village school. All she wished
to learn, she explained, was how
to write her name. When she had
accomplished this feat, she thanked
the teacher and took her leave.
The following fall she returned tc
seek further enlightenment.
“What do you want to learn
now?’’ the woman was asked.
“I’m after laming to write my
name,” she replied.
“But you learned that last year,”
the teacher rejoined.
“Shore,” she agreed, “but since
then I’ve done got married.”
YOU’RE GRAND
She—No, I can’t marry you. The
man I marry must be upright and
square.
He—You don’t want a husband.
You want a piano.

love me—you’ve forgotten my birth
day!

Hubby How can I remember
your birthday when there is never
anything about you to remind me
that you are a day older than you
were a year ago?

A PEOPLE DELIVERED
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 6:6-8; 13:17-22.
GOLDEN TEXT—I will trust, and not be !
afraid; for the Lord Jehovah even the
Lord, Is my strength.—lsaiah 12:2.
“Is thy God able to deliver thee?”
was the question asked of Daniel in
the lions’ den (Dan. 6:20). It is in
the minds and on the lips of many
in every hour of crisis.
God is able to deliver. Moses
found that out when in answer to
his complaint that the Lord had
done nothing for his suffering peo
ple (Exod. 5:22), the Lord revealed
Himself as the One who was not i
only able but ready to take them
1 out of their bondage.
I. God’s Promise (6:6-8).
Moses was to remember that he
: was dealing with the Eternal One,
J unchangeable, and always true to
1 His word and able to make His will
‘ come to pass (v. 2,3).
So often men in dealing with God
think of Him in terms of their own 1
weakness and failure. What we
1 need is to have a Godlike concep
tion of God, not a manlike idea of ,
' Him. God is the infinite and the
Eternal One with whom we have no I
right to quarrel, and whose deal- 1
ings with us are too high for us to
! judge (Ps. 139:1-0).
God’s covenant with His people
was established (v. 4). He had
heard their cry (v. 5), and His de
liverance was sure (v. 6). The only
thing Moses had to do was to wait
end see God work.
That word’“wait” is a little one.
It seems to call for no effort, to be
easy of fulfillment; yet it seems to
be the hardest thing for a human
being to do. Christians who can
speak and work for God when things
are active and moving become
querulous and despondent when
they have to wait or when they are
laid aside for a time.
His promise is sure. That is not
just a religious sentiment. It is a
fact, and it is proved by history.
11. God's Plan (J,3:17-19).
There was a direct, easy road
along the coast of the Mediter
ranean up to Canaan, but God with
His pillar of cloud and fire did not i
lead in that way.
How strange that He should take
them by a longer, more difficult
way! Not at all. He knew the dan
ger of the easy way. It was there
that the warlike Philistines would
be lying in ambush. Such immedi
ate conflict would discourage Israel
and tempt them to return to the
flcshpots of Egypt. So He took them
tile other way.
Note that God’s guidance for them
was one of intelligent planning, not
just impulse or chance. He knew
what to do, and He did it, for their
good.
God has a plan, not only for the
nations, but also for individuals, for
your life and mine. Let us find His !
will for us, for it is good, accept
able and perfect (Rom. 12:1, 2).
Note the honoring of the faith of
Joseph in God’s promise (v. 19). The
memory of his assurance was a
blessing to his descendants, and
they honored it and him. What
will our descendants have to say
about our faith in God?
111. God’s Presence (13:20-22).
Our God does not just send a plan
or program to His people. He is al
ways with them and is ready to go
before them.
God's plan is made known to His
people as they follow Him step by
step. This means that there must
be guidance, moment by moment,
if His plan is to be worked out.
He gives such guidance and it is
•nly when His children fail to follow
it that the pattern of life becomes
confused.
The field of divine guidance is one
in which Christians have widely
divergent experiences. Some know
the sweet, unconfused daily experi
ence of God's hand upon them, car
ing for even the minor details (or
•re they minor?) of life. Others have
known the directive power of God
in some life crisis, but nut in the
ordinary affairs of life. Many, and
perhaps most, think of divine guid
ance as a spiritual theory of which
the preacher talks, but know noth
ing of it in their own lives.
What makes this great difference?
Faith—or the lack of it. Those who
trust God accept and receive His
blessed leadership moment by mo
ment. It is as simple as that. Oth
ers reach out and take it when the
pressure of life makes them cast
themselves on God. Others simply
muddle along “doing their best,’’
which is not their best, for God is
not in it.
The pillar of cloud, which became
luminous at night, was ideal for the
guidance of Israel. It provided
shade from the hot sun by day, and
it was a sure guide in the dark
ness of the night.
We who believe in Christ have
an even better and more precious
evidence of God’s presence—the
Holy Spirit who indwells us. He
reveals God’s will to us, urging us
on, or restraining us as the need
may be. Are we obedient to His
blessed promptings? Do we walk
in the light of His perfect ijuiu-
Vice?
