God's Enemies Shall Bow

"The Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD" (Exodus 7:5).

The ungodly world is hard to teach. Egypt does not know Jehovah and therefore
dares to set up its idols and even ventures to ask, "Who is the LORD?" Yet the
LORD means to break proud hearts, whether they will or not. When His judgments
thunder over their heads, darken their skies, destroy their harvests, and slay
their sons, they begin to discern somewhat of Jehovah's power. There will yet
be such things done in the earth as shall bring skeptics to their knees. Let us
not be dismayed because of their blasphemies, for the LORD can take care of His
own name, and He will do so in a very effectual manner. The salvation of His
own people was another potent means of making Egypt know that the God of Israel
was Jehovah, the living and true God. No Israelite died by any one of the ten
plagues. None of the chosen seed were drowned in the Red Sea. Even so, the
salvation of the elect and the sure glorification of all true believers will
make the most obstinate of God's enemies acknowledge that Jehovah, He is the
God. Oh, that His convincing power would go forth by His Holy Spirit in the
preaching of the gospel, till all nations shall bow at the name of Jesus and
call Him LORD!

Sinners Married to Christ. Rom. 7. 4; Jer. 3. 14

1 My soul with holy wonder views
The love the Lord the Saviour shows, To wretched, dying man;
So strange, so boundless is his grace, He takes the vilest of our race
With him to live and reign.

2 He'll charm them with a holy kiss, And make them know what union is;
He'll draw them to his breast;
A smiling eye upon them cast,
Which brings them to his feet in haste, Each singing, "I am blest!

3 "I'm blest, I'm blest, for ever blest; My rags are gone, and I am dressed
In garments white as snow;
I'm married to the Lord the Lamb,
Whose beauties I can ne'er explain, Nor half his glory show."
