Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?
I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of
the field shall honor Me, the dragons and the owls; because I give waters in the
wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen.
This people have I formed for Myself; they shall shew forth My praise."
(Isaiah 43:18-21)
"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!
-Charles Haddon Spurgeon
