"Moses said... Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here? And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the Lord hath given them?.... If ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out" (Numbers 32:6,7,23). "I must work the works of Him that sent Me while it is day: the night cometh when no man can work" (John 9:4).
The battle is raging in realms far and near
For souls that are precious for whom our Lord died:
While some go to warfare, shall we now sit here,
As those now content to observe from the side?
Behold, if we sin thus against Christ our Lord,
Sowing discouragement, sorrow, and doubt
Withholding God's counsel, our spiritual sword,
Be sure that our sin will indeed find us out!
Nightfall is coming and work shall be done,
So let us be working while yet it is day,
Warring and working with God's precious Son,
Giving Him glory with hearts that obey.
