And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not (Isa. 58:11).
What wonderful promises for the spiritual life as well as the material do we find here! Guidance, satisfaction, health--the whole life, like a watered garden, blooming even in the heat of summer and bringing forth fruit in season.
"On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:37, 38, ARV). Believers are like artesian well, life-giving and never-failing in every desert way.
Deep in the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky is a bronze tablet that reads: "Out of the lowest depths there is a path to the loftiest heights." And nearby stands a guide ready to show the reader the way out. In Christ we have a guide who will show us the way of all life's difficulties.
He leadeth me! O blessed thought!
O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
Whate're I do, where'er I be,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.
Lord, I would clasp my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me.
