The Unerring Chart

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. 
---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
