"FEAR THE LORD, AND DEPART FROM EVIL." He shall lead you aright. Are you perplexed at times, at a loss which way to take, or what to do ? Does providence baffle all your schemes and leave you confused and troubled in mind? The Lord is teaching you the lesson which He taught his prophet Jeremiah, who said, "O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." You must go to the Lord for wisdom and for grace; and look to Him for direction, as well as salvation. He has marked out our path, but you cannot see the lines; go to Him in childlike simplicity and ask Him to throw light upon it, and then all will be plain. Seek His direction before every movement. Beseech Him to go with you in every enterprise. "In every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." His eye is upon you for good. His ear is open to your prayer. He will be very gracious unto you at the voice of your cry; when He shall hear He will answer you. Consult His word, seek His blessing, honour His love, keep His company, aim at His glory, and He shall direct thy paths.

For Meditation:
Commit to Him thy heavenward way,
Rest on His care, hold fast His hand;
With Him press on, His voice obey,
For soon you'll see the Promised Land!
