DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the assurance of God's presence in our
endeavors, using Moses' mission to Pharaoh as a powerful example. He
argues that God would never send Moses alone to face such a formidable
opponent without His support, highlighting that God's promise,
'Certainly I will be with thee,' is a guarantee of success when we act
in faith. Spurgeon encourages believers to approach their own challenges
with courage and conviction, knowing that God's backing is more powerful
than any earthly force. He reminds us to conduct ourselves honorably in
light of this promise, urging us to act boldly and without fear, just as
Moses did.

And he said, Certainly I will be with thee. (Exodus 3:12)

Of course, if the Lord sent Moses on an errand, He would not let him go
alone. The tremendous risk which it would involve and the great power it
would require would render it ridiculous for God to send a poor lone
Hebrew to confront the mightiest king in all the world and then leave
him to himself. It could not be imagined that a wise God would match
poor Moses with Pharaoh and the enormous forces of Egypt. Hence He says,
"Certainly I will be with thee," as if it were out of the question that
He would send him alone.

In my case, also, the same rule will hold good. If I go upon the Lord's
errand with a simple reliance upon His power and a single eye to His
glory, it is certain that He will be with me.

His sending me binds Him to back me up. Is not this enough? What more
can I want? If all the angels and arch- angels were with me. I might
fail; but if He is with me, I must succeed. Only let me take care that I
act worthily toward this promise. Let me not go timidly, halfheartedly,
carelessly, presumptuously. What manner of person ought he to be who has
God with him! In such company it behoveth me to play the man and, like
Moses, go in unto Pharaoh without fear.
