Bible Verse for Direction, Faith and Knowing the Will of God

Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer,
the Holy One of Israel;
I am the Lord thy God
which teacheth thee to profit,
which leadeth thee by the way that
thou shouldest go.

ISAIAH. 48, verse 17.


I seek Thy aid, I ask direction,
Teach me to do what pleaseth Thee;
I can bear toil, endure affliction,
Only Thy leadings let me see.

ANONYMOUS


Of all paths a man could strike into, there is,
at any given moment, a best path for every man;
a thing which, here and now, it were of all
things wisest for him to do;
which could he but be led
or driven to do, he were then
doing "like a man," as we phrase it.
His success, in such case, were complete,
his felicity a maximum.
This path, to find this path,
and walk in it, is the one thing needful for him.

THOMAS CARLYLE.


Every man has his own vocation.
There is one direction in which all space
is open to him. He has faculties
silently inviting him thither to endless exertion.
He is like a ship in a river; he runs against
obstructions on every side but one;
on that side all obstruction is taken away,
and he sweeps serenely over a deepening channel
into an infinite sea.
