Marshall: the sealed orders

Wednesday, May 11, 2022
Meditation:
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
    I will counsel you and watch over you.
    —Psalm 32:8 (NIV)
Quotation:
You are leaving port under sealed orders and in a troubled period.
You cannot know whither you are going or what you are to do.
But why not take the Pilot on board who knows the nature of your sealed orders from the outset,
    and who will shape your entire voyage accordingly?
He knows the shoals and the sandbanks, the rocks and the reefs,
He will steer you safely into that celestial harbor where your anchor will be cast for eternity.
Let His mighty nail-pierced hands hold the wheel, and you will be safe.
    ... Peter Marshall (1902-1949), John Doe, Disciple: sermons for the young in spirit, McGraw-Hill, 1963, p. 37 (see the book)
    See also Ps. 32:8; Gen. 12:1; Ps. 23:2-3; 25:4-5,8; 107:30; 119:105; Isa. 42:16; 48:17-18; Matt. 8:24-27; John 10:3-4; 16:13
Quiet time reflection:
    You will guide me home, Lord.
