I will instruct you and teach you

I will instruct you and teach you

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will guide you with My eye! " Psalm 32:8

Our heavenly Father would not restrain and curb His children as with bit and bridle—like the horse or the mule which have no understanding; He would gently lead and guide them, as a loving father guides an obedient trustful child—by his hand, or by his eye.

Give me, O Lord, a truly humble and teachable spirit. Show me my ignorance and liability to err. Make me truly willing to be led and guided by You—and so shall I prove You faithful to Your promise.

You will instruct and teach me in the way I should go; and if, like a simple loving child, I am willing to be led by the gentler intimations of Your will—You will not employ the coercion and restraint which an intractable and stubborn spirit would require.
