GOLD IN THE GOLDEN TEXT
The Lord shall guide thee con-
tinually.-Isaiah SSH.
Divine guidance is available.
God has the knowledge never to
err. He has the holiness never to
deceive or delude. He has IN kind
ness never TO stint or withhold.
Personal guidance is promised.
God is aware of our needs and is
ready TO meet them every one as
they arise. We have only TO place
epliant in his hands and
let him have his wav with us and
work out his will through us.
Continual guidance is assured.
There is never a moment that we
can safely pursue our way with
out God to guide. There is never
a task. however small. however
trivial, that we can do without
God to show us how. There is
never a goal, even the least and
lowest, we can reach without God
to lead and lift. "Guide me, o
Thou great jehovah
