And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. Isa 58:11

In the days of the exodus, when the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness, Jehovah God led the way. He did not delegate their time of wandering to an angel, but He Himself led His people. It is hard to imagine how God would be so faithful to a people who murmured, complained, and criticized all along the way throughout their pilgrimage to the Promised Land. Yet in this scripture passage we find God’s Personal commitment to His people and His faithfulness to His word. God made an unconditional promise to the children of Israel prior to leading them out of bondage from Egypt. He promised “I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage” (Ex 6:8). Throughout their pilgrimage, God made His Presence known to the children of Israel. He was faithful to them day and night. They saw His cloud by day and His fiery pillar in the night. Though they challenged God’s patience and rebelled against His word, God faithfully led His people into the Promised Land. My friend, God has not left you in your Christian pilgrimage to find your own way, and to face life’s battles alone. He gives us hope and assurance of His presence with the promise that “the Lord shall guide thee.” To the child of God, He has promised “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” And His presence and His promises are without end. He “continually” guides His children without fail. Today, the child of God may not see a cloud by day or fiery pillar by night to remind them of God’s presence, but He now abides within every believer by faith, and we have the blessed assurance that “lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” (Matt 28:20). My friend, trust the promises of God’s word and look to Him for His faithfulness. He will never forsake you. He is “continually” faithful to the end. He is worthy of all praise. Father, thank you for the promises of Your word and Your continued faithfulness. I praise You in the worthy Name of Jesus. Amen.
