"Todavia, estou sempre contigo, tu me seguras pela minha mão direita. Tu me guias com o teu conselho e depois me recebes na glória". Salmo 73:23-24
Não há, na Palavra de Deus, promessas mais preciosas para o homem que deseja fazer a vontade de Deus e que percebe a bondade de Sua vontade, que a promessa da orientação de Deus.
Que pensamento animador, alegre e inspirador está contido neste texto, a saber, que podemos ter a orientação de infinita sabedoria e amor em cada momento da vida e que a teremos até o fim de nossa peregrinação terrena.
Há poucas palavras mais preciosas em todo o livro de Salmos, que é um dos mais preciosos livros da Bíblia, que estas:
"Estou sempre contigo, tu me seguras pela minha mão direita. Tu me guias com o teu conselho e depois me recebes na glória".
Como queima o coração meditativo, crente e obediente quando lê as palavras maravilhosas deste texto!
Desejo que tenhamos tempo de examinar as características da orientação de Deus como são apresentadas em muitos textos da Palavra de Deus, mas devemos nos voltar imediatamente para o exame dos meios que Deus usa para nos orientar.

Reuben Archer Torrey was an American evangelist, pastor, educator, and writer. Held evangelistic meetings around the world with song leader Charlie Alexander. Called by D.L. Moody to head the Bible Institute of the Chicago Evangelization Society (now Moody Bible Institute); Dean of Bible Institute of Los Angeles; pastorates included Chicago Avenue Church (now Moody Memorial Church) and Church of the Open Door, Los Angeles.
Besides his obvious gifts in all these areas, he was also a man of prayer, a student of the Bible, and an outstanding personal soul-winner. It is said that he daily read the Bible in four languages, having a good working knowledge of Greek and Hebrew. Some students of church history feel he did more to promote personal evangelism than any other one man since the days of the apostles. His prayer life has seldom been equaled in the annals of Christendom.
Reuben A. Torrey wrote some forty books and his practical writings on the Holy Spirit, prayer, salvation, soul-winning, and evangelism are still favorites of many Christians.
