Read the passage Numbers 21
Attribute to God His sufficiency.
Be comforted by what God has promised. V.34
vs.33
1) Many are they who come against God's people.
(and they turned and went up by the way of Bashan:)
vs.33, 34
2) God's people are not to go around their opposition
.(went out against them, ... and the Lord said unto Moses,)
To ignore God’s promptings is to get a bigger challenge, a bigger enemy, a bigger battle.
vs.34
3) God has no fear of the enemy's claim.
(and the Lord said unto Moses,)
The word cannot be challenged. It refuses to change.
vs.34
4) God wants His people to realize their security in Him.
(Fear him not;)
No reason to fear the enemy when we realize how great God is.
Believers need to focus on God’s greatness, magnify God’s virtues, God’ strength, might and power.
Never focus on the enemy’s claim, focus on the victorious Christ.
vs.34
5) The pathway of victory is a pathway well traveled by God.
(for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land;)
vs.34
6) The pathway of God's victory is repeatable.
(thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon, ... )
Learn God's word, what God honors, continue in it. II Tim. 3:14
Repeat it--God wants you to.
Don’t attribute strength to the flesh; don’t follow humanistic influences- “do the best you can’’ you win some, you lose some.”
The flesh is weak. Other Christians are tempted to offer fleshly justification to compensate for spiritual neglect.
God is faithful. His word is true. His ways are sure.
Don’t attribute powerlessness to God nor defeat to God.
vs.35
7) The territory of Victory is to be claimed by God's people.
(so they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left to him alive, and they possessed his land)
