In Psalm 32: 8, 9, we have still another important part of our message. “I will instruct thee and teach thee the way in which thou shalt go”. Perhaps there are many here, who do not know which way they are to take. You do not know at all with which christians you are to walk. We live in difficult times, but no one need fear. God’s way always remains the same for us. You have just to set your foot upon it and God offers you His counsel. If you have difficulties on this account—then pray to God. He will not leave you in uncertainty—He will counsel you.

Then there follows still a word of admonition in verse 9 regarding our wills, which we all easily have working in us. The most terrible disaster will be brought into our souls if our will is active. “Be ye not as a horse, as a mule, which have no understanding—whose trappings must be bit and bridle, for restraint, or they will not come unto thee” (Psalm 32: 9). Allow me, brethren, to say another word about our wills. Do not let us be like the horses and the mules, which have to be restrained with bit and bridle. Let us be subject to the Lord. His goodness then leads us. When we are subject to Him, beloved brethren, then all clouds disappear and our way will be quite clear.
