CHAPTER 1

THE SEED OF THE WOMAN

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. (Genesis 3:15)

"Because He stooped so low God has exalted Him very high" (Philippians 2:9 Arthur Way's Translation). From this first great act and fact in His revelation to that last greater act when He died for our sins on Calvary, and up until the time when God exalted Him very high to sit at God's own right hand in the heavenlies, our Saviour's example was one of profound humility. He came from the bosom of the Father to become the "Seed of the Woman." The one who said, "the words which I have spoken to you, the same shall judge you," was, in His innocence, judged by sinful men and crucified.

Oh, You who humbled Yourself to be born of a woman, who bore our sins in Your own body on the tree, we bow on our faces before You and worship and adore You. May we empty ourselves to be filled by You. Amen.

Offspring of the woman - NIV

THE ANGEL OF THE LORD

And the Angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time. (Genesis 22:15)

The "Angel (or Messenger) of Jehovah" was Himself God's message to us. He brought His own message to heal our deep sorrows and losses — He is our sin offering. He gave up His glory to bear our pain through the sacrifice of His own body on the cross.

We worship You, O "Angel of the Lord" and thank You that You are indeed a messenger for our salvation. Let us receive Your message with deep love and gratitude. Amen.

SHILOH (PEACEMAKER)

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (Genesis 49:10)

Israel must walk in darkness under law until the years may seem eternity, but "Shiloh" comes at last and peace with Him. Has Shiloh come to you? And has the peace which passes understanding, the peace He made, entered into your soul? For Shiloh came and conquered every foe that could harass you, and He stands today offering the peace He made "that passes knowledge." Have you received it? Has Shiloh come in vain for you? Begin today and "in everything by prayer and supplication make your requests known to Him," and Shiloh's peace shall "calm your heart."

Lord, Your peace passes all our earthly understanding. Help us to remain obedient and faithful to You so that Your peace will remain. Amen.

THE STONE OF ISRAEL

But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel). (Genesis 49:24)

The "Stone of Israel," the chief Cornerstone, is rejected by the builders, a Stone of Stumbling, a Rock of Offense, a Foundation Stone, on which alone we build all that shall stand. He makes us a polished, living stone; built in with other stones; perhaps a pillar to stand permanently and always be a part of His temple, for His own indwelling.

Holy Lord, self-offered for my peace; through death that I might live, through fire that I might become indestructible — enlighten me today till I perceive Your peace that passes understanding. Amen.

The rock of Israel - NIV

THE PEACE OFFERING

And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, he shall offer it without blemish before the Lord. (Leviticus 3:1)

Is there any point of dispute between your Lord and you? One little thing which you do not surrender? He is right. He cannot change. It is your heart which must surrender. Then can you receive the peace which passes knowledge. He has made the offering which these Old Testament sacrifices prefigured and which atones for all your past, but you must yield your will to Him. Shall it be now?

Lord Jesus, change my heart by Your power that I may know the wonderful blessings of peace with God through Your atoning blood. Amen.

Fellowship offering - NIV

A STAR

I shall see him, but not now; I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. (Numbers 24:17)

What could be more beautiful or more fitting than that our Lord should be called of God "a Star"? Those who know Him best may say, "I shall see Him, but not now. I shall behold Him, but not nigh." From far beyond our world of trouble and care and change, He shines with undimmed light, a radiant, guiding Star to all who will follow Him — a morning Star, a promise of a better day.

Lord God, Your star is a sign of hope, pointing to the heavens. Let us see You shining brightly as Maker of heaven and earth, and our personal Saviour. Amen.

A SCEPTRE

A Sceptre shall rise out of Israel. (Numbers 24:17)

There is a view of Jesus which men are slow to see, but some day all the world shall know that "a Scepter" shall rise out of Israel and evil will be destroyed before His righteousness more swiftly than ice must melt before the glowing sun. It is in the very nature of things that sin must be consumed before His glorious holiness. It can only be the love of sin that blinds the eyes of men to His consuming righteousness.

Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting. Then melt me, mold me, fill me, and use me. Amen.

THE CAPTAIN OF THE HOST OF THE LORD

And He said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. (Joshua 5:14)

The hosts of Israel stand before the gateway to a promised land. No swords are drawn, no skill have they, but with them is an unseen host, and with the host stands "the Captain of Jehovah's Host." Jericho and all the giants of the land submit, and for you, "behind the dim unknown stands God within the shadows keeping a watch above His own."

Captain of the Hosts of God,
In the path where You have trod,
Bows my soul in humble awe —
Take command. Your word is law.
Cause me to possess the land,
Led by Your Almighty hand.
Be my guide, defense and power,
Lead me from this very hour.

Lead me ever onward on the path of righteousness for Your name's sake. Amen.

THE ROCK OF MY SALVATION

The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. (2 Samuel 22:47)

No graver danger threatens the believer than that of forgetting that he was redeemed — forgetting even as he experiences it what our salvation cost, and who is the rock foundation of our faith. To meet this need our Saviour pictures Himself not merely as the Rock of Ages, and our Strong Rock of Refuge, but "the Rock of our Salvation." Here, in Him and based upon His merit and atoning grace, we were saved from among the lost. Let us glory in this precious name and never forget that He was "wounded for our transgressions" and that "He bore our sins in His own body on the tree."

Our precious Lord, may we have all joy and peace in believing that our salvation is built upon a solid Rock, standing through all ages. Amen.

The Rock, my Savior - NIV

THE LIGHT OF THE MORNING

And he shall be as the light of the...
