Show me thy ways, O Lord, and teach me thy paths. Psalms 25:4. Show me now thy way, that I may know thee. Exodus 33:13. Divine answer. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Psalms 32:8. My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. Exodus 33:14.
O Lord, suffer me not to deviate one inch from the way, much less to fall away from thee, the true vine and fortress of my soul, by the plausible insinuations of my own brain and imagination. May I never run, before thou hast called me, to the hurt of my soul; but constantly and confidently abide in thee, always drawing first the necessary light and strength from thee by never ceasing supplications. Grant that my eye being fixed continually upon thee, I may be guided into all truth, my doings be attended with thy blessings, and my whole life be a constant progress towards heaven. Christ’s answer:
" I will keep thee as the apple of mine eye, that no evil shall come near thee. As a careful mother, watches over her child, so have I undertaken to teach thee my path, and guide thee with mine own eyes. Whatever faintings and failings may befall thee, yet will I be ever faithful, raising thee up again, and pushing thee on evermore in my ways. Nay, as a good shepherd, I’ll carry thee in my own arms, whenever thy increasing weakness shall require."
My honour is engaged to save
The meanest of my sheep;
All that my heavenly Father gave,
My hands securely keep."
