A Sure Guide
I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not. (Isaiah 42:16)
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 that 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!
