GOD’S GUIDANCE.

There is nothing more plainly revealed than that our heavenly Father orders “the steps of a good man.” If this fact were communicated to us in the original way—that is, by miraculous voices, as in the olden time—the information could not come with more directness and power than we now have it from day to day.

Surely every one who lives wholly to please God has a right to claim His protection, His direction, and His help, not every hour only, but every moment of his life. He may not—indeed, can not—be always thinking of this great favor. Life has its imperative and absorbing duties. His energies are often taxed to their utmost in the struggle. It is more than a mere sentiment to live. It is a serious reality, in which the hand, the head, and the heart are enlisted. The only way, therefore, for the Christian is to “commit” himself habitually, sincerely, unhesitatingly, and with godly trust, into the hands of Him who has warranted us in believing that all things have worked, do now work, and will work in the coming days, for our good.—The Christian.
