EVENING DEVOTION
Are you in perplexity?
At a loss which way to take, or what to do?
Does providence baffle all your schemes, and
leave you in confusion and trouble?
The Lord is teaching you the lesson, which he
taught his prophet Jeremiah, who said, “O Lord, I know that the way of man is
not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”
You must go to the Lord for wisdom, as well as
for grace; and look to him for direction, as well as salvation.
He has marked out our path, but you cannot see
the lines; go to him in child-like simplicity and ask him to throw light upon it,
and then it will be all plain.
Seek his direction before every movement. Beseech
him to go with you in every enterprise.
“In every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God.”
“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall
direct thy paths.”
His eye is upon thee for good.
His ear is open to thy prayer.
He will be very gracious unto thee at the voice
of thy cry, when he shall hear he will answer thee. Consult his word, seek his
blessing, honour his love, keep his company, aim at his glory, and he shall
direct thy paths.
James Smith
NOVEMBER 22
Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
Commit to him thy doubtful way,
Rest on his care, and trust his hand:
His goodness shall thy path display,
And soon a prosperous end command.
