Plagues and death around me fly; Till He bids, I cannot die; Not a single shaft can hit, Till the God of love sees fit. ( Words by John Ryland ) Because of the evil the Midianites had done C P. Numbers 25, we read in chapter 31,that God commanded Moses to take vengeance upon then , he was told to send into battle a thousand men from each of the tribes of Israel.This was done, and the Midianites were defeated, the officers over the army came to Moses,to offer a thanksgiving offering, because of the 12,000 Israelites who had gone into battle, not one had perished. The Lord in His sovereignty had preserved them,what a miracle,12 ,000 and not one had died, no wonder they offered a thanksgiving offering.When I was little boy,I remember so well,I was drowning, and was rescued, like those 12,000, God in His incredible mercy preserved my life. I am now 74 years of age, how have I survived till now?,by eating certain foods going to bed early, no ,the answer is ,God. You will not fear, the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, Ten thousand at your right hand, But it will not come near you. ( Psalm 91 v 5 - 7 )
