“And the LORD shall guide thee continually.” 
              — Isaiah 58:11

“The Lord shall guide thee.” Not an angel, but JEHOVAH shall guide
thee. He said he would not go through the wilderness before his people,
an angel should go before them to lead them in the way; but Moses said,
“If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.” Christian, God
has not left you in your earthly pilgrimage to an angel’s guidance: he
himself leads the van. You may not see the cloudy, fiery pillar, but
Jehovah will never forsake you. Notice the word shall-“The Lord shall
guide thee.” How certain this makes it! How sure it is that God will
not forsake us! His precious “shalls” and “wills” are better than men’s
oaths. “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Then observe the
adverb continually. We are not merely to be guided sometimes, but we
are to have a perpetual monitor; not occasionally to be left to our own
understanding, and so to wander, but we are continually to hear the
guiding voice of the Great Shepherd; and if we follow close at his
heels, we shall not err, but be led by a right way to a city to dwell
in. If you have to change your position in life; if you have to
emigrate to distant shores; if it should happen that you are cast into
poverty, or uplifted suddenly into a more responsible position than the
one you now occupy; if you are thrown among strangers, or cast among
foes, yet tremble not, for “the Lord shall guide thee continually.”
There are no dilemmas out of which you shall not be delivered if you
live near to God, and your heart be kept warm with holy love. He goes
not amiss who goes in the company of God. Like Enoch, walk with God,
and you cannot mistake your road. You have infallible wisdom to direct
you, immutable love to comfort you, and eternal power to defend you.
“Jehovah”-mark the word-“Jehovah shall guide thee continually.”
