Often I look back on my life and consider how God has led me,to where I am now,it was the servant of Abraham, who was sent to get a wife for Abraham's son Isaac from his relatives.He had no satnav but was guided to the very girl, her name was Rebekah , He declared ,''the Lord has led me'',( Genesis 24 v27 ). On the day I was coming from Northern Ireland to come to England,God gave me two wonderful promise's,'He laid them on safely',( Psalm 78 v53)/ Behold, I send an Angle before you to keep you in the way to bring you into the place I have prepared'. ( Exodus 23 v 20 ) ,so it came to pass.God is in the business of guiding us all the days of our lives. In Psalm 48 v 14, we read,'For this God is our God for ever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end'.He does not leave us stranded, in fact He does not leave us.He will bring us to that place, He wants us to go,He is a sure guide, He will make no mistakes,we can rely upon Him completely. He guided the Israelites for 40 yrs in their wilderness journey,we read in Exodus 13 v21 -22, how God granted them a pillar of cloud during the day, and a pillar of fire during the night to lead them . He is leading us to our heavenly country,this world is not our permanent dwelling, all that we look upon will be no more,and then we will enter into our glorious rest with our glorious Saviour.
' Jesus, still lead on till our rest be won;
Heavenly Leader, still direct us,
Still support, console,protect us,
Till we safely stand in our Fatherland.'
