But Faith makes God its guide, Psal. 48.14. — This God is our God for ever: he shall be our guide unto death. Faith seeks direction from God, who is the Counsellor, the God of all wisdom.

I say, he, who shuts his own eyes, and sincerely falls down at the feet of God for counsel, shall have direction from him.
