J anuary 29. "And he buried himT-^Deut. 34:6. “That was the grandest funeral That ever passed on earth.”
PERHAPS the greatest honour that was ever done to men was the burial of Moses by the hand of God. The point for meditation, however, is not the grandeur or the honour of 'the interment, but the kindness of his removal. Many needless tears have been shed over the unknown grave of Moses. Some hard things have been said of God because He would not allow him to go into the Promised Land. Let us learn that when our Father will not grant our requests, it is that He has provided “some bet ter thing for us.” Moses desired to toil over Jordan into the Canaan of strife, in the company of “a disobedient and gain saying people;” he was lifted, instead, by Divine hands into the land where he should “delight in the abundance of peace,” and have fellowship with “the innumerable company of angels” and with the LORD Whom he had loved and served so long. He had yearned to see “a land flowing with milk arid honey;” a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates” ; his lot was to walk by the crystal river and to eat of the twelve fruits of the tree of life. Truly, God knows best! (and we need not say it with a sigh). “He shall choose out our inheritance for us” and, whether it be on earth or in heaven, it will be “some better thing” than we should have chosen for ourselves. FAMILIARITY often blinds us to much of the beauty of Scripture. For instance, have we realized what this means: “When he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them” ? If Christ goes before, He will arrive first wherever we are to follow. Hence the way will be not only chosen, but prepared. The edge of the precipice will be fenced, the stone of stumbling will be removed, the morass will be bridged, the briars will be be pushed aside or broken down ere we come upon .the scene. If there be a lion in the path, we shall find it slain, or chained beyond the possibility of doing harm; if our foes have gathered against us, they' shall be met and put to flight by His mighty hand; if there is an ambush in the way, it will have been discov ered by His all-observant eye. Every danger will be met, every hazard run, every difficulty measured by our Shepherd before it presents itself to us. Once already, in the flesh, He has passed along life’s pathway, experiencing all its possibilities of terror and of triumph; now, in the spirit, He goes before His flock that He may lead them in safety to the Elysian Fields. With such a Conductor, there is no room for fear, we are secure while the Divine guardianship precedes us. Our one anxiety should be this: that we follow duly where He leads; that we be not deaf to His tender voice; that we stray not from the track marked out for us by the impress of His feet. J anuary 31. “To be with Christ, which is far better.” — Phil. 1:23. A little girl once said that Enoch used to walk with God; and one day he walked with Him so far on the way to heaven that God said: “Won’t you come in, Mr. Enoch,” and so he never came back! The departure of every saint may be summed up in these words: “He was not, for God took him.” Death is but the passing of the soul out of the darkness into the light. To die, is but to fall asleep in the bare dormitory of school and to wake amid all the comfort and beauty of the Parental home. We should not fear death as we do if we realized that it is but to exchange the toils and dangers, the trials and the sorrows, the failures and the sins of earth for the rest and safety, the peace and purity of heaven. J anuary 30. “He goeth before.”—John 10:4.
