Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God; thy Spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. Psalms 143:10. Divine answer. He that has mercy on them, shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them. Isaiah 49:10. I will bring the blind by a way that they know not. I will lead them in paths that they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them. Isaiah 42:16.
Believing souls, resting on the merits of Christ, do not make it their business legally to fulfil the law, and yet are always doing the works of the law. Nay, being sensible of their blindness, saying " neither do we know what to do," they give themselves willingly and entirely up to their heavenly Leader, to be guided into all his ways and steps, only at his pleasure, praying continually even in the least things.
In thee I trust, to thee I sigh,
And lift my heavy soul on high,
For thee sit waiting all the day,
And wear the tiresome hours away.
Break off my fetters, Lord, and show
Which is the path my feet shall go,
If snares and foes beset the road,
I flee to hide me near my God.
Teach me to do thy holy will,
And lead me to thy heavenly hill;
Let the good spirit of thy love
Conduct me to thy courts above.
