the guidance of god our way to paradise pdf

An example of this is found in Exodus 13:18.

His guidance is sometimes STRANGE to us.A step at a time and a stop at a time a moment by moment experience of His leading of which we may be conscious, but of which we are more often unconscious.

His guidance is for the whole life, until the Lord comes or we go to be with Him. The Lord is always more anxious than we are that we should be absolutely clear as to His will (Psalm 25:12). The psalmist prayed to be led in a straight path (Psalm 27:11), and the Lord’s promise to us is Proverbs 3:6 - also look up Isaiah 35:8. The secret of divine guidance is the Guide (Psalm 16:11). There can be no possibility of a mistake in the guidance which God gives His children. We need to stress this in order to emphasise its quality. Let us think of the Nature of God’s guidance and of the Method of God’s guidance. These examples, and many others of which we can read, establish the fact that God does guide His people. In the New Testament, one of the most striking examples is that of Philip, who was guided of the Lord to leave Samaria and to win the eunuch to Christ (Acts 8:5 and 26). For examples of God’s guidance in the lives of His people we think of Abraham going out of his native country not knowing where he was going, being wholly dependent upon the guidance of God (Genesis 12:1) of Moses and the children of Israel being led by the pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night (Exodus 13:21-22) and of Joshua (Joshua 1:6-9). They need to pray, “Show me your ways…Teach me…Guide me…” (Psalm 25:4,5,9). In the psalm which we have chosen for the scripture reading in connection with this study, you will notice that the psalmist assumes the need for guidance, and of course not one of us would question the fact that God’s people do need guiding. We also have a number of very clear statements which show us our need of guidance for example, Jeremiah 10:23. In the Old and New Testaments we have wonderful promises of guidance and examples of those who sought and found the Lord’s will for their lives. Over and over again we find the subject of God’s guidance brought before us in the Word of God. Series 9 Study 6 THE WONDER OF GOD’S GUIDANCE
