Eye Of Sense And Of Faith

Zechariah 2:1  
"I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked
 and behold a man with a measuring 
line in his hand." 

 

    The enemies of the Church threatens and battles Christianity daily. They have taken God out of courtrooms, schools and whenever someone says; "That this Offends me, so I want it taken down." These, people are emblems of power, strength, and violence in our word today. These people today are similar to the "four horns" in Zechariah.  This is a general reference to any nation or persons who would potentiality pose a threat to God's people. Zechariah saw them and he began to despair of the safety of every good man, and the success of every good work; but the Lord showed him four workmen empowered to cut off these horns. With an eye of sense we see the power of the enemies of the Church; look which way we will, the world shows us that; but it is only with an eye of faith that we see it safe. The Lord shows us that. 

    My Friends, When God has work to do, He will raise up some to do it, and others to defend it, and to protect those employed in doing it. What cause there is to look up in love and praise to the Holy and eternal Spirit, who has the same care over the present and eternal interests of believers, by the Holy Word bringing the Church to know the wonderful things of salvation! No weapon that is formed to stop God’s purposes will prosper. The young man with the measuring line embodied the new Spirit animating the returned exiles. But God was intending to give and  still is giving more prosperity and increase than can be contained in walls. 

Amen!
