The Lord shall guide you continually!

The Lord shall guide </em>you continually!

" The Lord shall guide you continually! " Isaiah 58:11

Beloved reader, do you feel your need of a guide? The pathway of life is a difficult one—there are snares and pitfalls on one hand, and bye-paths on the other hand. If you should venture forward without a guide, you would reveal far greater folly than a traveler in an Alpine region, who, ignorant of the mountain pass, should determine to go alone, amidst precipices and chasms.

A faithful guide is indispensable—and God in Christ Jesus is just such a Guide as you need. His knowledge of the way is perfect. His understanding is infinite. He cannot err. And He is as good as He is wise. He is tender and compassionate to all whom He leads. He . . .   
  defends them in danger,
  helps them in difficulty,
  supports them when faint,
  and cheers them in sadness.

If you have never before committed yourself to His guidance, oh that you would do so today! First, in your sinfulness—trust in Him for salvation. And then, in your ignorance and weakness—commit yourself constantly to His direction. He will guide you "continually," and lead you by the right way to a city of habitation, "a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God!"

Abandon yourself to His care and guidance, as a sheep in the care of a shepherd, and trust Him utterly. No matter though you may seem to be in the very midst of a desert, with nothing green about you, inwardly or outwardly, and may think you will have to make a long journey before you can get into the green pastures. Our Shepherd will turn that very place where you are into green pastures, for He has power to make the desert rejoice and blossom as a rose.

" He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Psalm 23:3-4

"For this God is our God for ever and ever! H e will be our guide even to the end!" Psalm 48:14
