[0:00] Again I would direct you to Psalm 32 and verse 8. [0:12] Psalm 32 and verse 8. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go. [0:26] I will guide thee with mine eye. Psalm 32 and verse 8. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go. [0:44] I will guide thee with mine eye. As most of you know we attempted to look a little at these words this morning. [1:00] We noticed that these words are the words of the Lord to his children. [1:13] The Lord will instruct his children. He will lead them forth by the right way. He will not only lead them in providential things but spiritual things also. [1:30] And my friends I would say here that the Lord has said. Thou shalt remember all the way I have led thee these 40 years in the wilderness. [1:43] And my friends I ask the question. Can you and I look back? Can we remember anything? Has the Lord instructed us? Has he led us in his paths? [1:55] Has he stopped us in the way? Has he made a way where there seemed no way? Has he healed us? [2:06] Healed us in body? Healed us in soul? Have we got any evidences that the Lord has instructed us? [2:17] Have we got any evidence that he is instructing us now? Preparing us for eternity? [2:29] Does he deliver us from self and Satan and the world? There are many things to lure us away from God? [2:43] But I will instruct thee. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way that thou shalt go. And my friends we won't be able to go in the pathway that we thought we would go. [3:02] There will be many, many changes that come which are wrought by the Lord. We shall walk in paths that we had never thought of. [3:17] We'll have to do things that we didn't think we could do. And we couldn't do them in ourselves. But by his grace and his strength we can do these things. [3:35] And I think it was Paul said that he could do all things in Christ Jesus. He could do all things in Christ Jesus. [4:13] But my friends we have to prove this. That the Lord instruct us. [4:26] He instructs us in the way that we are to go. This is the way. Walk in it. We have to go forward. [4:38] Though at times we're empty. My friends how many times the Lord's children have seen his wonder work in hand appear. [4:54] They have had a pathway to walk in. They've had no strength. But strength has been given. They have been constrained to have something done. [5:10] Perhaps to the house of God. Perhaps there's need of repairs. Various things need to be maintained. [5:22] They have not done any money. But they're constrained to have it done. They give the order. The Lord provides. [5:36] They prove. They have proved. That the Lord has appeared. He has made a way. Where there seemed no way. It wasn't presumption. [5:50] Ah they may have well given the order. And then been tempted by the adversary. That it was presumption. And the money would never be forthcoming. [6:00] But my friends they have proved. The faithfulness of their God. God had put it into their hand. [6:12] Into their heart. They trusted in him. They ventured forward. My friends I've seen. A few. [6:24] Godly. Men. That have had the. Responsibilities. Of chapels. [6:35] And I've seen them. Just a few. That have been. Constrained. To. [6:48] Have. Much work done. To the house of God. Where they attended. Had it renovated. Costs. Thousands. And thousands. And thousands. [6:58] Of pounds. It's been done. The Lord provided the money. The money came in. They wondered. [7:09] They stood amazed. And my friends. It seemed. That. Was. Of the Lord. [7:20] It was of the Lord. I believe. When the Lord. The work. Was finished. They were. They were taken home. I've seen it. More than once. [7:33] Where. These. Godly. Souls. Are being. Constrained. By the Lord. To. Do these things. And then. He's taken them home. [7:45] Ah. My friends. I will instruct. The. In the way. That thou. Shalt go. There are. Stranger. Mysterious. [7:56] Things. At times. There is. Venturing. Venturing. Faith is given. To venture. Look at that. [8:07] Beautiful. Chapter. We read. Together. In Genesis. Of Abraham's. Servant. Oh. That is a. Beautiful. Chapter. We see. [8:19] The wonders. Of God. In. His. Guidance. His. Preparation. His. Providing. [8:30] We see. The faith. That. Abraham's. Servant. Had. He prayed. His. Way. Along. True. He. [8:41] Had. Fears. True. He. Was. Tried. And. Tempted. Tempted. True. He. Met. The obstacles. Before. [8:52] They. Even. Came. Well. They. Didn't. Come. Did. They. But. That's. Just. Like. You. And. Me. We. Always. [9:02] Meet. Trouble. Very. Often. Before. It. Comes. And. If. We. Have. A. Pathway. To. Walk. In. We. Say. Well. They. Won't. Come. [9:14] And. What. If. They. Don't. And. So. You. See. This. Was. Of. The. Lord. The. Lord. Was. In. It. I. [9:25] Will. Instruct. The. And. Teach. The. In. The. Way. That. Thou. Shalt. Go. And. The. Lord. Requires. His. Children. [9:36] At. Times. To. Go. Forward. They. Don't. Know. What. Before. But. Like. Rebecca. When. She. Was. [9:46] Ask. Wilt. Thou. Go. With. This. Man. I. Will. Go. She. Never. Seen. Him. Before. In. Her. Life. She. [9:57] Never. Met. Isaac. Who. Was. Going. To. Be. Her. Husband. She. She. She. Went. The. Lord. Was. Was. In. It. And. [10:09] My. Friends. How. Good. It. Is. When. In. The. Course. Of. The. Lord. Providence. There. Is. An. Unfolding. [10:21] When. He. Brings. Two. Together. And. My. Friends. Oh. How. Good. [10:31] It. Is. When. We. See. The. Lord. Bring. Two. Together. And. They. Are. Blessed. When. They. Are. Blessed. Both. Of. Them. With. [10:42] A. Tender. Fear. Of. God. Why. They. Can. Walk. Humbly. Together. They. Can. Understand. One. Another. They. Walk. In. The. Same. [10:52] Path. They. Have. The. Double. Portion. They. Have. The. Natural. Love. They. Have. The. Spiritual. Love. And. [11:03] So. My. Friends. I. Will. Instruct. And. Teach. The. In. The. Way. That. Thou. Shalt. Go. And. So. Isaac. He. He. [11:14] Must. Have. A. Godly. Wife. Yes. Rebecca. Is. To. Be. His. Wife. Wife. And. [11:24] How. Abraham. Was. In. In. Commanded. His. Servant. Go. To. Fetch. A. Wife. We. [11:37] May. Look. Upon. It. As. Being.
