"I will guide thee with mine eye" Psalm 32:8
The following is taken from: How to Know God’s
Will by C. W. Naylor (1925)
"God
guides us with his eye. How does God guide us with his eye? He
cannot speak to us with his eye. He cannot hold our hand with his
eye. He can not instruct our judgment with his eye. How, then, can
he guide us with his eye? Here is the form of guidance that is often
unrealized. God may be giving us definite guidance, and at the same
time, we may be wholly unconscious of it.
When God
guides us with his eye, he watches the path before us. He sees that
which threatens, and fortifies us against it before we reach the
place of danger. He drives away the enemies that lurk in wait for
us. So the promise, "I will guide thee with mine eye," means much
more to us than we can comprehend. Many times when we seem to be
walking alone, God's eye is leading us. So dark a night never comes
to us but that the eye of God pierces through its gloom, in order to
guide our footsteps in the way of truth." |
