Written by C. H. Mackintosh (1820-1896), an Irish businessman active in the Irish Revival.
“There is a path which no fool knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen: the lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.” What an unspeakable mervy for one who really desires to walk with God, to know that there is a way for him to walk in! God has prepared a pathway for his redeemed in which they may walk with all possible certainty, calmness, and fixedness. It is the privilege of every child of God, and every servant of Christ, to be as sure that he is in God’s way as that his soul should be saved. This may seem a strong statement; but the question is, Is it true? If it be true, it cannot be too strong. No doubt it may, in the judgment of some, savor a little of self confidence and dogmatism to assert, in such a day as that in which we live, in the midst of such a scene as that through which we’re passing, that we are sure of being in God’s path…the selfsame voice that tells us of God’s salvation for our souls, tells us also of God’s pathway for our feet.
We took sweet counsel together and walked unto the house of God in company. [Psalm 55:14]
