You cry out for truth, for revelation, for the Holy Spirit to touch your heart with the divine will, and this is a cry that finds ready audience in the courts of heaven, for it is written, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." Yet mark well, the truth you seek is not a toy for the intellect but a fire for the soul, and the Spirit who leads into all truth leads always by the way of the cross, never contrary to the word He has inspired. You desire to know God’s plan; then learn first that His plan is a great reality, no shadow or myth, but the very substance of salvation laid up in Christ Jesus before the world began. It is in the truth of His salvation that you must plead, as David did, grounding your prayer not upon your own worthiness but upon the character of the God who cannot lie. His salvation is not a half-finished hope; it is finished, full, free, and eternal, and if you would have clarity, you must begin here, upon your knees, with the open Book, crying, "O God, thou hast taught me from my youth; teach me still, for I am but a scholar in thy school."
But take heed that you do not, in your eagerness for one truth, neglect another, as some who put the telescope to the blind eye and then complain they cannot see what God has plainly revealed. The whole counsel of God must be received: election and free invitation, sovereignty and responsibility, grace and holiness. Puff not up one doctrine until it becomes monstrous, nor minify another until it is forgotten. The truth is a perfect globe, not a distorted mirror; seek to see it whole. And when you are perplexed about the future, remember that counting on tomorrow without reckoning upon God is the fool’s arithmetic. You are not master of your own life; you cannot say, "Today or tomorrow I will do this or that." The Lord reigns, and your times are in His hand. Set not your heart upon building castles in the air, but commit every step to Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will. This is wisdom: to live in present dependence, to do the duty of the hour, and to leave the veil of the future unlifted.
As for guidance, the Holy Spirit leads commonly by the word, by prayer, and by a teachable spirit. Beware of the pride that refuses to be taught, for the genius of this age casts off authority and would make every man his own pope; but the childlike heart alone enters the kingdom. He who made you a pupil in the school of grace will instruct you and make you to know the path of life. Wait upon Him in the secret place, plead the blood of the everlasting covenant, and by and by you shall find that the truth has touched your very heart, not as a cold light but as a living flame, and you shall walk in the light of it. The benediction of all benedictions is this, "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you." Grace is joy, favor, love to the undeserving; let that be your portion, and you shall need no other sign. Charity and purity, faith and obedience, these are the garments of religion; put them on by the strength He supplies, and go forward, saying with Ruth, "Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God." The Lord guide you into the deep things of Himself, and may your prayer be answered, not as you now imagine, but as He in His infinite love shall see best. His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
