“For this God is our God for ever: he will be our guide even unto death.”(Psalm 48:14)
Life is a journey with many twist and turns–and rough places over which we must travel. The good news is that God is always there to guide and help us.H. E. Manning expressed this beautifully in these words:
He has kept and folded us from ten thousand ills when we did not know it:
in the midst of our security we should have perished every hour, but that
He sheltered us “from the terror by night and from the arrow that flieth by
day”–from the powers of evil that walk in darkness, from snares of our own
evil will. He has kept us even against ourselves, and saved us even from
our own undoing. Let us read the traces of His hand in all our ways, in all
the events, the chances, the changes of this troubled state. It is He that
folds and feeds us, that makes us to go in and out,–to be faint, or to
find pasture,–to lie down by the still waters, or to walk by the way that
is parched and desert.

God Will Not Lead You Where He Cannot Keep You
