God Blindfolds that He May Lead
Isaiah 42:16
And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known…


We are so timid and tender and unschooled that God has often to place the shadow of His hand across our vision, just as the Alpine guide will blindfold a nervous traveller, so that he may guide him unharmed across some terrific chasm.

(T. G. Selby.)
