Psalm 73:24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Some, as the Church of Rome, would deny to men the right of free thought. They appeal to authority, and think it better that men should hearken only to their appointed guides. Now, I say that a Church which hinders and destroys thought curses the world. The men who think make progress; they become inventors, owners of the land they till and of the houses in which they dwell; they become foremen and masters; while the men who do not think are carriers of the hod, the hewers of wood and the drawers of water. I. THAT A GOD-GUIDED LIFE IS A PILGRIMAGE. II. DIVINE COUNSEL IS GIVEN TO ALL WHO TRY TO DO GOD'S WILL. III. LET THE RESOLVE OF THE PSALMIST BE REPEATED IN YOUR SOUL. Thou shalt guide me and receive me. If you resolve to be true to yourself, by acting up to the light you have, then God will guide you by His counsel, and afterward receive you to glory. Our heavenly Guide will never steer us wrong. Trust Him. (W. Birch.)
