“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” ~ John 16:13
He shall guide us by His counsel, and He shall lead us in the way that we should go.“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” ~ Isaiah 30:21
He shall lead His people into all truth (to prevent mistakes) and into all righteousness (to prevent miscarriages). Nay, more, He shall not only be their star, but their strength too. He shall guide His people on and help them on. They shall be led by the Spirit, bound in the Spirit, and pressed in the Spirit. They shall be excited, assisted, and carried on in the power of the Spirit in the way that they should go. He will cause them to walk in the statutes of the Lord. Whatsoever your waywardness and your wanderings have been, whatever your feebleness and fickleness are, whatever false lights and false ways are before you, whatever temptations you meet with to turn you aside out of the right way, whatever doubts hence rise in your heart, if you think, “I shall one day or another perish from the way and be a lost sheep at last,” yet His conduct shall be prosperous and the event shall be sure. He shall so guide you by His counsel that He shall bring you to glory. He shall gather His lambs with His arm and carry them in His bosom, gently leading those who are with young.”Alleine, Richard.
