A GUIDE ALL THE WAY
"He will be our guide even unto death" Ps. 48:14
We need a guide. Sometimes we would give all that we have to be
told exactly what to do, and where to turn. We are willing to do
right, but we do not know which out of two roads we are to follow. Oh,
for a guide!
The Lord our God condescends to serve us as guide. He knows the
way, and will pilot us along it till we reach our journey's end in
peace. Surely we do not desire more infallible direction. Let us place
ourselves absolutely under His guidance, and we shall never miss our
way. Let us make Him our God and we shall find Him our guide. If we
follow His law we shall not miss the right road of life, provided we
first learn to lean upon Him in every step that we take.
Our comfort is, that as He is our God for ever and ever, He will
never cease to be with us as our guide. "Even unto death" will He lead
us, and then we shall dwell with Him eternally, and go no more out for
ever. This promise of divine guidance involves life-long security:
salvation at once, guidance unto our last hour, and then endless
blessedness. Should not each one seek this in youth, rejoice in it in
middle life, and repose in it in old age? This day let us look up for
guidance before we trust ourselves out of doors.
