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. And the Soul, that leans upon God for wisdom, shall not want it. He who trusts in the God of wisdom shall not want direction. I say, he, who shuts his own eyes, and sincerely falls down at the feet of God for counsel, shall have direction from him.
But Faith makes God its guide, Psal. 48.14. — This God is our God for ever: hee shall bee our guide unto death. Faith seeks direction from God, who is the Counsellor, the God of all wisdome. And the Soul, that leans upon God for wisdome, shall not want it. He who trusts in the God of wisdome shall not want direction. I say, hee, who shuts his own eyes, and sincerely falls down at the feet of God for counsel, shall have direction from him.
If indeed, we seek as Balaam, with a double heart, or as the Children of Israel did, Jer. 42. who asked counsel, but were resolved of their way; we then may miscarry. But he who seeks with an humble and upright heart, that asks the way to Zion, with his face thitherward, resolved to go, as God directs, Such will God direct in his way: such he will guide in all the ways of Judgement.
