The Lord’s Spirit on them
Numbers 11:24-30 NRSV
So Moses went out and told the people the words of the Lord; and he gathered seventy elders of the people and placed them all around the tent. Then the Lord came down in the cloud and spoke to him and took some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders; and when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do so again. Two men remained in the camp, one named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were among those registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp. And a young man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” And Joshua, son of Nun, the assistant of Moses, one of his chosen men, said, “My lord Moses, stop them!” But Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit on them!” And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.
I WANT A PRINCIPLE WITHIN
Charles Wesley
I want a principle within of watchful, godly fear, a sensibility of sin, a pain to feel it near.
I want the first approach to feel, of pride or wrong desire; to catch the wandering of my will and quench the kindling fire.
From Thee that I no more may stray, no more Thy goodness grieve. Grant me the filial awe, I pray, the tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of any eye, O God, my conscience make. Awake my soul when sin is nigh, and keep it still awake.
Almighty God of truth and love, to me Thy power impart; the mountain from my soul remove, the hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain my reawakened soul, and drive me to that blood again, which makes the wounded whole.
