They shall not walk after their own inventions any more; nor after the lusts of their own hearts, nor after 1the examples, or the counsels of men, but after the Lord, they shall see God before them, their hearts shall be drawn after him, as they shall see God in his various administrations, so they shall turn this way, or that way which way soever God leads them; though in paths they have not known before, yet now they shall walk after him, though in paths that few others walk in yet.
THey shall not walk after their own inventions any more; nor after the lusts of their own hearts, nor after 1the examples, or the counsels of men, but after the Lord, they shall see God before them, their hearts shall be drawn after him, as they shall see God in his various administrations, so they shall turn this way, or that way which way soever God leads them; though in paths they have not known before, yet now they shall walk after him, though in paths that few others walk in yet.
- 1Expos. 1
Through fire and water, though in difficult paths never so dangerous to outward appearance; though God should lead them from their dearest comforts, sweetest contents, though it did not appear to them, whither the way tended, what God meant to do with them; yet seeing God before them, they shall be willing to walk after ⟨p. 181⟩him; they shall account that way God is in, the best way, the safest way, the most comfortable way, Revel. 14. 4. These shall follow the Lamb whither soever he goeth, these were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits to God, and to the Lamb. They shall walk in a constant steady course of obedience after the Lord.
