The Necessity Far Divine Guidance
Evangelical Preacher
Proverbs 3:6
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.


I. THE FILIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT DEMANDED.

1. In what it consists. We must acknowledge God's supreme authority, and also His Divine wisdom and goodness.

2. In what manner this acknowledgment should be made. By going to the Divine Word for instruction; by prayer; and by obedience to His authority.

II. THE DIVINE GUIDANCE WHICH IS PROPOSED.

1. By enabling us to understand truth and the rule of duty.

2. By preparing and disposing the heart to obedience.

3. By a kind and wise providence.

Application:

1. Do you complain that you have not such guidance? In all your ways you do not acknowledge God.

2. We must be sinful if we are in error.

3. The subject appeals to wanderers and backsliders.

4. The counsel is specially addressed to the young.

(Evangelical Preacher.)
