Prayer for the Day - September 1
"Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory."
--Psalm 73:24
The Psalmist felt his need of divine guidance. He had just been discovering
the foolishness of his own heart, and lest he should be constantly led
astray by it, he resolved that God's counsel should henceforth guide him. A
sense of our own folly is a great step towards being wise, when it leads us
to rely on the wisdom of the Lord. The blind man leans on his friend's arm
and reaches home in safety, and so would we give ourselves up implicitly to
divine guidance, nothing doubting; assured that though we cannot see, it is
always safe to trust the All-seeing God. "Thou shalt," is a blessed
expression of confidence. He was sure that the Lord would not decline the
condescending task. There is a word for thee, O believer; rest thou in it.
Be assured that thy God will be thy counsellor and friend; He shall guide
thee; He will direct all thy ways. In His written Word thou hast this
assurance in part fulfilled, for holy Scripture is His counsel to thee.
Happy are we to have God's Word always to guide us! What were the mariner
without his compass? And what were the Christian without the Bible? This is
the unerring chart, the map in which every shoal is described, and all the
channels from the quicksands of destruction to the haven of salvation mapped
and marked by one who knows all the way. Blessed be Thou, O God, that we may
trust Thee to guide us now, and guide us even to the end! After this
guidance through life, the Psalmist anticipates a divine reception at last-
-"and afterward receive me to glory." What a thought for thee, believer! God
Himself will receive thee to glory--thee! Wandering, erring, straying, yet
He will bring thee safe at last to glory! This is thy portion; live on it
this day, and if perplexities should surround thee, go in the strength of
this text straight to the throne. Prayer for the Day - September 1 Prayer for the Day
