Homilist Jeremiah 3:4 Will you not from this time cry to me, My father, you are the guide of my youth? We are all travellers, but are not all travelling in the tame direction. We need a guide. There is only One to be relied upon. I. WHY WE NEED A GUIDE. 1. Because of our ignorance of the way. 2. Because of our liability to take the wrong path. 3. Because of our liability to leave the right path after we have chosen it. II. WE SHOULD TAKE GOD AS OUR GUIDE. 1. Because He knows the way. 2. Because He knows the trials that will befall us. 3. Because He knows the perils that we shall encounter. 4. Because He is our Father, and therefore kind and considerate. III. WE SHOULD ASK GOD TO GUIDE US NOW. 1. Because the present time is the best. 2. Because the present time is the safest. 3. Because the present may be the only time. (Homilist.)
