SUNDAYS (H00L
LESSON
(By E. 0. SELLERS, Director of Evening
Department, The Moody Bible Institute,
Chicago.)
LESSON FOR OCTOBER 5
MOSES’ CRY FOR HELP.
LESSON TEXT—Numbers 11:10-18
a& righteous man avalleth much in its
working.”"—James 5:18.
This lesson is taken from the book
of Numbers, “the book of journey-
murings.” The events of Exodus and
Leviticus cover perhaps one or two
years, whereas those recorded in Num-
bers occupy about 38 years. Read inthis
connection Ps.95:10 and I Cor. 10. From
Sinai to Kadesh-Barnea are found four
‘general murmurings. The first was
at Taberah, 11:3, and the events of to-
day's lesson which occurred at
Kibroth, 11:34. The other two were
at Hazeroth, 12:15, 16, and Kadesh,
13:26. This book is full of impress-
ive warnings about worldliness.
Moses Was Human.
I. Complaipt and Controversy, vv.
10-15. Moses was great but he was
human. No man is faultless, and in
this lesson we have another incident
Illustrating the weakness of Moses.
Yet despite all this we find inserted
in the very next chapter God's esti-
mate of his character, 12:3. Moses.
had been subjected to a terrible strain,
the details of his leadership, the con-:
stant murmuring of the people un-
der this load he gave way, just as he
had previously yielded to impulse, Ex.
2:12, and as he did subsequently, Ch.
20:10-13. The Israelites are a strik-
ing illustration of the natural discon-
tent of the human heart. Any af-
fliction, and discomfort or privation,
and we forget God's marvelous works
on our behalf. His wonderful good-
ness. That God was displeased is in-
dicated by verse 10, but that did not
imply that Moses, too, was to lose
his temper, to resort to murmuring,
and to aécuse God of being respon-
sible for the burden or that he would
not help to share the load, v. 11. God
placed great honor upon Moses by
calling him to this task of leadership
and now he complains, and doubts for
& moment God's sustaining grace, 2
Cor, 12:9; Phil. 4:13. The language
here used, vv. 12-14, is wonderfully
suggestive. The utter weakness of
the Israelites, the promised goal, the
hunger of soul and body, the sorrows
of affliction are all graphically set
before us. Moses’ own weakness is
revealed (v. 13) by his words, “where
should I have flesh to give?” He seems
to forget absolutely God’s dealings
with Israel before they reached Sinai
(Ex. 16), as though God expected any
such thing from him. The height of
his petulance and bitterness is reach-
ed when he exclaims, “kill me I pray
thee . . . and let me not see my
wretchedness,” v, 15.
Burden Distributed.
Il. Comfort and Counsel. vv, 16-18;
24, 25. ‘Moses had been warned not to
bear the entire burden of leadership
by his father-in-law, Jethro, Ex. 18:17,
18. Now that he is unwilling to take
the full honor of undivided leadership
God most graciously grants his re-
quest and appoints others to share the
burden and responsibility. There was
no more power, however, but more
machinery. God distributed the bur-
den and revealed the fact that Moses’
power was in proportion to his burden.
Human nature always looks for the
arm of flesh upon which to rely, but
such a reliance usually brings a curse
not a blessing upon those who seek it,
Jer. 17:56. God dealt in mercy with
Moses. Notice how gently he passes
by this exhibition of infirmity and
notwithstanding this lapse, bears tes-
timony to his faithfulness (12:7). Yet
he is impartial in chronicling his faults
and thereby giving us an incidental
and thereby giving us the truth.
What a suggestion in the words “I
will come down and talk with thee,”
yet that is the privilege of the believ-
er in Christ, John 14:16, 17 and 16:13.
God calls a “tent meeting,” v. 16 R. V.,
but before he meets them they must
sanctify themselves, for so only is
one prepared to meet God, Ex. 19:10,
15, 22. These people had been lust-
ing for the food of Egypt even as to-
day many who have professed to ac-
cept Christ are forever longing for the
pleasures of time and sense. They
forget the bitterness of past slavery in
the privations of the present, entire-
ly forgetful of the goal of luxury and
freedom, Rom. 10:28, 2 Cor. 4:17. God
granted their request, v. 18, to their
sorrow, v. 20. The whole trouble was
then “rejected the Lord,” v. 20 R. V.
The granting of material prosperity
tends to leanness of soul, Ps. 106:15.
It frequently happens that God does
not answer our prayers because he
knows that to answer them actually
and literally would spell disaster in
our lives.
Conclusion. This lesson brings
Moses very near-to us. Such a re-
markable man as he is he sometimes
seems to be far removed from our
actual experiences in life. Yet as we
consider him faltering for a moment
beneath his staggering, crushing bur-
den of responsibility, with strength
and courage gone, we share our sym-
pathy with him and he seems to enter
into the actualities of our daily life.
God reveals himself as one who un-
derstands perfectly, one who knows

AVID RANKIN was a big farmer and
he knew his business. He owned
the largest corn farm in the world,
about 35,000 acres down in Missouri.
He devoted his life to the pleasant
study and practice of right farming, and he
succeeded mightily, for he made $4,000,000 in
the business of farming. David Rankin said:
The manure spreader is the most efficient
money-maker on the place.”
It’s warm praise to be ranked above all other
farm machines, but the spreader deserves it.
Soils rebel when crop after crop is taken from
them, without return of fertilizer. Return
