A Sure Guide

"I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not" (Isaiah 42:16).

Think of the infinitely glorious Jehovah acting as a Guide to the blind! What
boundless condescension does this imply! A blind man cannot find a way which he
does not know. Even when he knows the road, it is hard for him to traverse it;
but a road which he has not known is quite out of the question for his unguided
feet. Now, we are by nature blind as to the way of salvation, and yet the LORD
leads us into it and brings us to Himself, and then opens our eyes. As to the
future, we are all of us blind and cannot see an hour before us; but the LORD
Jesus will lead us even to our journey's end. Blessed be His name! We cannot
guess in which way deliverance can possibly come to us, but the LORD knows, and
He will lead us till we shall have escaped every danger. Happy are those who
place their hand in that of the great Guide and leave their way and themselves
entirely with Him. He will bring them all the way; and when He has brought them
home to glory and has opened their eyes to see the way by which He has led
them, what a song of gratitude will they sing unto their great Benefactor!
LORD, lead Thy poor blind child this day, for I know not my way!

615 8.7.4. W. GADSBY
"In the world ye shall have tribulation." John 16. 33

1 Sinners, called by grace, and blessŠd With a living faith in Christ,
Must not think to be caressŠd
By a world of sin and vice;
Satan's agents
Cannot love the Saviour's choice.

2 Let this thought the Christian strengthen; Jesus' name is life and peace;
Angels have not skill to mention
Half his wisdom, power, or grace.
Souls that trust him,
Soon shall see him face to face.

3 Though they suffer for a season,
For the name of Christ, their Lord; And at times may know no reason
Why such sorrows are endured;
Soon he'll teach them,
That the whole has worked for good.

4 [Happy is the savŠd sinner,
That endures for Jesus' sake;
He of endless life's a winner;
Of his glory shall partake;
Jesus will not,
Cannot, such a soul forsake.]

5 O for love, for faith, and patience! Jesus, fix our souls on thee!
Nor let Satan's dire vexations,
Make us start aside or flee;
May we ever
Cling and twine, dear Lord, to thee.
