Deuteronomy 9:3 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Sweet thought! Reader, if you are truly spiritual do not lose sight of it. He that is a consuming fire to thine enemies to destroy them, is a wall of fire to thy soul to preserve thee. And observe, the sacred historian doth not say, the LORD thy GOD will enable thee to consume them; but the LORD himself will destroy them, and bring them down before thee. Yes, blessed JESUS! It is thine own arm which bringeth salvation. Oh! may I never lose sight of this, but be ever ready to say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength. Isaiah 45:24.

Deuteronomy 9:3

3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
