The Lord will guide us

Charles Spurgeon

SUMMARY: God's condescension is shown in the fact that he acts as a guide for the blind. We are all naturally blind to the way of salvation, but God leads us to it and opens our eyes. He also guides us through life, even when we cannot see the future. Those who trust in him will be led to safety and will be grateful for his guidance. We should entrust our way to him and surrender ourselves to him.

Think that the infinitely glorious Jehovah acts as a Guide for the blind! What boundless condescension this implies! A blind man cannot find a way that he does not know. Even when he knows the way, it is difficult for him to travel it; but a path that he would not have known would be an impossible adventure for his feet if they were devoid of a guide. Now, we are by nature blind when it comes to the way of salvation, and yet, the Lord introduces us into him, and leads us to him, and then opens our eyes. We are all blind to the future, and we cannot see the next hour, but the Lord Jesus will guide us to the end of our journey. Blessed be his name!

We cannot guess how deliverance will come to us, but the Lord knows, and He will guide us until we have escaped all danger. Blessed are those who lay their hand on that great Guide, and entrust their way to Him and surrender themselves to Him. He will guide them all the way; and when he has led them home to glory and opened their eyes to see the path that led them, what a song of gratitude they will sing to their great Benefactor! Lord, guide your poor blind son on this day, for I do not know my way!
