Psalm 73:24 You shall guide me with your counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. I. IN WHAT WAY THE LORD CONDUCTS AND GUIDES HIS PEOPLE IN THIS PRESENT STATE. 1. By His providence. 2. By His Word. 3. By His Spirit.The Spirit of God does not reveal any new truths different from, or in addition to, those recorded in the written Word. He does not guide by impressions on the mind, the nature and tendency of which cannot be explained. But He opens the understandings to understand the Scriptures. He enables and disposes clearly to perceive, and faithfully to apply the truths already revealed in His Word, as the various cases and circumstances of His people require. II. WHAT IS IMPLIED IN THAT GLORY INTO WHICH THE LORD WILL RECEIVE HIS PEOPLE, AFTER HE HAS LED AND CONDUCTED THEM THROUGH THE PRESENT LIFE. 1. Heaven may be represented by the term "glory," because it is a glorious place. If this earth which we inhabit, defiled as it is with sin, exhibit to a careful observer such evident marks of the most consummate wisdom and design — what must be the majesty of that place, where the whole art of creation has been employed, and where God has chosen to show Himself in the most magnificent manner to the view of all its blessed inhabitants? 2. Oh! how glorious is the company that fill the mansions in our Father's house above! 3. The employments of heaven are glorious. 4. The enjoyments of heaven infinitely transcend our highest conceptions. (A. Ramsay, M. A.)
