From Spurgeon's "Faith's Check Book"072-Going Out with Joy |
"And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out." (Deuteronomy 33:18) The blessings of the tribes are ours; for we are the true Israel who worship God in the
spirit and have no confidence in the flesh. Zebulun is to rejoice because Jehovah will bless
his "going out"; we also see a promise for ourselves lying latent in this benediction. When we
go out we will look out for occasions of joy. We go out to travel, and the providence of God is our convoy. We go out to emigrate, and the
Lord is with us both on land and sea. We go out as missionaries, and Jesus saith, "Lo, I am with
you unto the end of the world." We go out day by day to labor, and we may do so with pleasure,
for God will be with us from morn till eve. A fear sometimes creeps over us when starting, for we know not what we may meet with; but
this blessing may serve us right well as a word of good cheer. As we pack up for moving, let us
put this verse into our traveling trunk; let us drop it into our hearts and keep it there; yea,
let us lay it on our tongue to make us sing. Let us weigh anchor with a song, or jump into the
carriage with a psalm. Let us belong to the rejoicing tribe and in our every movement praise the
Lord with joyful hearts.
