Numbers 2:32-34 These are those which were numbered of the children of Israel by the house of their fathers… I. CONTENTMENT WITH THE DIVINE APPOINTMENT. 1. We are incompetent to determine our own place and duty. (1) Our ignorance. (a) Of ourselves; (b) of the future. (2) Our proneness to self-indulgence. 2. We have ample grounds for confidence in the determinations of God for us. (1) His knowledge. (2) His wisdom. (3) His kindness. II. OBEDIENCE TO THE DIVINE COMMANDS. 1. All God's commands are binding, because they are all right. 2. All God's commands are benevolent. Obedience is blessed as well as binding. (W. Jones.)
