Obedient Following
Christian
Isaiah 42:16
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known…


A traveller in South Africa was anxious to go to a certain place which could only be reached by the aid of a Kaffir guide. Into his hands the traveller was compelled to commit his life, and he says: "It was not long before I saw that the old man was guiding me along some recognised path invisible to my eyes, but plainly designed to carry us round clumps of thorn and treacherous stones. Not a landmark could I see to indicate the turnings of the route, but our guide was never at a loss." Only by implicit obedience did the traveller reach his goal.
