<p> <em>&quot;All the <strong>paths </strong>of the LORD are mercy and truth — unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.&quot;</em> — Psalm 25:10<br><br>
The <em>paths </em>of the Lord! My soul! never follow your own paths. If you do, you will be in danger often of following <em>sight </em>rather than <em>faith</em>— choosing the evil, and refusing the good. But &quot;commit your way unto the Lord — and He shall bring it to pass.&quot; Let this be your prayer, &quot;Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your <em>paths</em>.&quot; Oh! for Caleb's spirit, &quot;to wholly follow the Lord my God&quot; — to follow Him when <em>self </em>must be sacrificed, and hardship must be borne, and trials await me. To &quot;walk with God&quot; — to ask in simple faith, &quot;What would You have me to do?&quot; — to have no will of my own — but this, that God's will is to be my will. Here is safety — here is happiness!<br><br>
Fearlessly follow the <em>Guiding Pillar</em>. He will <em>lead </em>you by a right way, though it may be by a way of hardship, and crosses, and losses, and privations — to the city of God. Oh! the blessedness of thus<em> lying passive in the hands of God</em>, saying &quot;Undertake for me God!&quot; Oh! the blessedness of dwelling with holy gratitude on past mercies and interpositions; trusting these as pledges of future faithfulness and love; and hearing His voice behind us, amid life's many perplexities, exclaiming, &quot;This is the way — walk in it!&quot; &quot;Happy,&quot; surely, &quot;are every people who are in such a case!&quot; It will be for you, Reader, if you can form the resolve in a strength greater than you own:<em> &quot;This God shall be my God forever and ever; He shall be my Guide even unto death!&quot;</em>
