EVENING DEVOTION by James Smith
SEPTEMBER 11
Psalm 48:14
For this God is our God for ever and ever:
he will be our guide even unto death.
What a precious assurance is this!
Our God is our guide, he led us out of the world
at first, directed us to the cross, and conducted us into the path of peace.
He has led us through all our past difficulties
and trials, he leads us by the hand at present, and he will never give up his
charge, for he will be our guide even unto death.
He will choose our way; lead us in the paths of
righteousness; kindly converse with us on the road; point out the snares and
dangers in our path; and keep us by his power through faith unto salvation.
He undertook to guide us at first without our
knowledge, he kindly appeared as our CONDUCTOR in answer to our prayers, and he
will patiently bear with us unto the end.
He may hide his face, refuse communion, withhold
comforts, smite us for our follies, and teach us, by painful experience, our
dependence on himself; but he will never forsake us or give us up.
He will guide us to the end of the journey, and
will go with us through the last dark valley.
He will not only lead us into the kingdom, but
put us in possession of it.
This he has promised, and he will faithfully
perform it.
For God, whom Zion boasts her friend,
Our God unchangeable is known;
Our Guide—who will our steps attend,
Till death advances us to his throne.
James Smith
