In almost every case the Word of God tells us exactly what God s will is. The picture here is one who is traveling in the darkness and has a lamp to guide the way. A lamp is adequate to light the path and provide enough light to take only a few steps at a time, it gives light to lead the way. These things will help us determine God s will. As Bible study leaders we must realize that locations may change and specific ministries may vary through the seasons of life, but the call to minister His will to others will remain.
Gods call to lead.
Isaiah here in this passage has confidence with humility as he gives credit to the Lord. A true professional will not turn from God s call and will not be proud about themselves. If you are called to teach the Word of God your call is not subject to change and there is no indication in His Word that he will ever withdraw his call. As we teach our Bible study we will only bring our students to the level that we have matured to. There is nothing more powerful or professional than to watch a leader who stays stead fast in the heat of the battle for souls.
