Divine Guidance (Part 2)

Psalms 73:24 - "You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory."

How are we to work our way in strange lands, if left entirely to our own resources?

Hence the Lord is called the guide of his people. We are in a foreign land, a land of pits and snares and without a good guide, we will be sure to fall into the one, or be caught in the other. "This God is our God, for ever and ever," saith the psalmist; and not only so, but he condescends to "be our guide, and will be, even unto death" (Psalms 48:14).

God still works with us: he does not only give grace, but actual help in the work of obedience: "He worketh all our works in us," (Isaiah 26:12). His actual help is necessary to direct, quicken, strengthen, protect and defend us. In our way to heaven, we need not only a rule and path, but a guide. The rule is the law of God; but the guide is the Spirit of God.

After all our toil in labour and duty, after all our crosses and afflictions, after all our doubts and fears that we should never receive it; after all the hiding of His face, and clouds and darkness that have passed over us; and after all our battles and fightings for it....Surely His reward will come in at the right time (season).

For God says "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you." (Psalms 32:8)
