“O send out Thy light and Thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto Thy holy hill, and to Thy tabernacles.” Psalms‬ ‭43:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬. One of the great needs we have in this fallen world is to be continually led by God’s Word and Spirit. We face many perplexing situations and need always to ask our Lord to lead us in the right way. And thank God He does lead us! As the song says, ‘He leads His dear children along’. But let us keep in mind, when God sends His light and truth upon our dark places, He always does it with a twofold purpose. First of all He seeks to direct and lead us, but always in ways that bring us closer to Him. He will never lead us into a path or any situation that takes us away from Him. He will never lead us into things that hinder our walk with Him. But also, when He sends His light and truth, they reveal our condition. They expose the needs of our own heart and life. They reveal that where we are is not all there is! That He has so much more for us! God does this, not to hurt or condemn us, but to show us our needs and the wondrous possibilities of His grace, so we can be led closer to Him.
