Today's word is taken from
the 78th Psalm, verse 72
"David cared for them with pure motives; he led them with skill"

When you are doubtful as to your course, submit your judgment absolutely to the Spirit of God, and ask Him to shut against you every door but the right one. Meanwhile keep on as you are, and consider the absence of signs to be the message of God’s will that you are on His track. As you go down the long corridor, you will find that He has preceded you, and locked many doors which you would have wanted to enter; but be sure that beyond these there is one which He has left unlocked. Open it and enter, and you will find yourself face-to-face with a bend in the river of opportunity, broader and deeper than anything you had dared to imagine. Launch forth upon it; it leads to the open sea.

God guides us, often by circumstances. At one moment the way may seem utterly blocked; and then shortly afterward some trivial incident occurs, which might not seem much to others, but which to the keen eye of faith speaks volumes. Sometimes these things are repeated in various ways, in answer to prayer. They are not haphazard results of chance, but the opening up of circumstances in the direction we should walk. And they begin to multiply as we advance toward our goal, just as the lights grow as we near a town at night.
