Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel,
and afterward receive me to glory.
Psalm 73:24
"THE Psalmist
felt his need of divine guidance.
He had just been discovering the
foolishness of his own heart,
and lest he should be constantly led
astray by it,
he resolved that God's counsel should henceforth guide
him.
---A sense of our own folly is a great step towards being wise, when
it leads us to rely on the wisdom of the Lord.
it leads us to rely on the wisdom of the Lord.
---The blind man leans on
his friend's arm and reaches home in safety, and so would we give
ourselves up implicitly to divine guidance, nothing doubting; assured
that though we cannot see, it is always safe to trust the All-seeing
God.
Q: What were the mariner without his
compass?
Q: And what were the Christian without the Bible?
---This is the
unerring chart, the map in which every shoal is described, and all the
channels from the quicksands of destruction to the haven of salvation
mapped and marked by one who knows all the way."
Charles Spurgeon
