“And the Lord went before them by day in
a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to
give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the
cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people” (Exodus
13:21-22, KJV).
A true guide knows the way to the
destination. A good guide is careful and protective, avoiding hazards and
dangers along the course of the journey. A compassionate guide is watchful of the
stresses along the way. A proficient guide provides sustenance for the strength
needed for each day and supplies for every facet of the ongoing challenge or in
the resting components. A generous guide
does everything in his or her power and expertise to benefit the adventurer and
facilitate the goal of the journey. An expert guide is completely trustworthy and
loyal to those in his or her charge. A benevolent
guide encourages you in the hardest places with hope and points out each step
ever mindful of joy that will come on the completion of the journey. A professional guide possesses lifesaving
skills and tremendous knowledge of every aspect in the terrain and
environment. In reality, you put your
very and death in the hands and competence of the your guide with the anticipation
of reaching the goal of your journey.
There is a guide who fulfills every
requirement of guidance and is unsurpassed in His ability to help you in your
journey through life. Not only is this
guide completely trustworthy but He has never failed a single person in His
care. He has never abandoned a single person or faltered to get them to their
intended and purposed destination. He
has paid for your journey and redeemed your sins. His guarantee is in His
presence. He never sleeps or looks
away. His attention is permanently
attached and secured on every one in His care.
He gives us a book of guidance unequalled in its wisdom and relevance as
it lights and shows the pathways of life. Finally He abides in us by His very
Being, as the Holy Spirit … teaching, guiding and even convicting us when we
have wandered away from His presence. He
has no agenda but only a love to sustain us in the journey and guarantee our
arrival at the goal where He meets us to celebrate forever with Him. Is there any other guide like Him or any
other presence you would want along on journey which will be your life?
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth,
is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things
to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it
unto you” (John 14:13-14, KJV).
