The Old Testament reading is Exodus chapter 13 verse 17 through chapter 14, 14. And this is the inerrant, the infallible word of God.

When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said, lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt. But God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle. Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones with you from here.

And they moved on from Sukkoth and encamped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they might travel by day and by night. The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people. Then the Lord said to Moses, Tell the people of Israel to turn back and encamp in front of Pi-Hahiroth between Migdol and the sea in front of Baal-zaphon. You shall encamp facing it by the sea.

For Pharaoh will say of the people of Israel, they are wandering in the land. The wilderness has shut them in. And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them. And I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his hosts. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. And they did so.

When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, the mind of Pharaoh and his servants was changed toward the people. And they said, what is this we have done? That we have let Israel go from serving us. So he made ready his chariot and took his army with him and took 600 chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them. And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he pursued the people of Israel while the people of Israel were going out defiantly. The Egyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them and encamped at the sea by Pi-Ahirath in front of Baal-Zaphon.

When Pharaoh drew near, the people of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they feared greatly. And the people of Israel cried out to the Lord. They said to Moses, Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done in bringing us out of Egypt? Is not this what we said to you in Egypt? Leave us alone that we may serve the Egyptians. For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.

And Moses said to the people, Fear not. Stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent. You can keep your place there in the Bible. We are continuing our series of sermons through Exodus, so we will return to that passage.

But let’s go to John’s Gospel for our New Testament reading, John chapter 10, verses 27 through 30. John 10, 27 through 30. The subject that we are considering this morning is the Lord’s guidance of his people. And in these verses, these words of Jesus, we hear that one way in which the Lord guides us is through his word, through his word, and specifically through the voice of our good shepherd, through Jesus, as he speaks to us through the scripture.

So John chapter 10 verses 27 through 30. My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me. I give them eternal life and they will never perish and no one will snatch them out of my hand. My father who has given them to me is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of the father’s hand. I and the father are one. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.

A few years ago, as a congregation, in our Sunday school class, we worked our way through the classic book, The Pilgrim’s Progress, by John Bunyan. Many of you were not here at that time. That was about four or almost five years ago. And one lesson above all else that that book impresses upon our hearts and it’s obvious from the title of the book is that the Christian life can be characterized as a journey pilgrimage there are many ways to think about our lives as Christians but this is one primary way that the scripture gives us this home is not our world we are exiles here we are sojourners here and we are on a pilgrimage and of course just like The hero of the book, Christian, you are also on a pilgrimage to a better world. For Christian, it was the Celestial City, which of course is a way of describing heaven. We are on a journey through this world to our heavenly destination.

And though your journey as a Christian may seem lonely at times, the good news is that as a believer in Christ, you can know that you are never truly alone. But God has promised to be with you throughout this life and to guide you, to direct you throughout your pilgrimage through this world. In our passage this morning from Exodus, it gives us a picture of how the Lord guides and directs his people in our earthly sojourning, our pilgrimage.

We are at the point now in the story of Exodus when the Israelites have just escaped from Egypt. You’ll remember from the passage that we looked at last Sunday on the night of the Passover, the Lord went through the land of Egypt and he killed all the firstborn of all the families of the Egyptians and even of their livestock. And Pharaoh, the wicked, the hard-hearted king of Egypt, who refused to let the people go despite all the destruction that the Lord had brought upon the nation of Egypt in the first nine plagues, finally, after the tenth plague, after the Lord killed the firstborn in every home, finally, Pharaoh relented, and he let the people of Israel go, that they may serve the Lord.

And now that the Israelites are out of Egypt, now that they have fled from the land, they are out from under the tyranny, the grip of Pharaoh, the very first thing that Moses tells us is that they were being led by God. He says in verses 17 and 18 in chapter 13, and I’m paraphrasing, but Moses tells us that God did not lead the people in this particular direction, rather he led them in this other direction. And that’s a way of saying that the most fundamental reality, the thing that was most true or most important of the Israelite people at this time, as they are escaping from Egypt, is that God was leading them. The Lord was directing their paths. They knew that their destination that the Lord would lead them to ultimately would be the land of Canaan, the land that had been promised to them, to their forefathers, the patriarchs, a land flowing with milk and honey. And yet God did not drop them a map from heaven that they might find their own way to the promised land, but it was His will that He would guide them there, that He would lead them there. He led them each step and every day along the way.

And as we look at this passage today from Exodus, as we consider the Lord’s leading the people of Israel, there are four truths that are demonstrated or illustrated here concerning how God guides us as his people today. As Christians, how does the Lord direct our paths? And we’ll consider four ways that we can learn from this chapter how the Lord guides us. And the first is this, that God guides us according to his perfect wisdom. God’s guidance is always in accordance with what is wise and good according to his perfect understanding and knowledge.

On the night of the Passover, as the Israelites were leaving Egypt, fleeing from Pharaoh, if Moses had had a smartphone at the time and he opened up his Google Maps app and he typed in Canaan, the way that he would have been told to go would have been northeast through the land of the Philistines. That would have been the quickest, the most direct route. If they had gone that way, they would have been in the Promised Land in a matter of a couple of weeks. But, he had a much better GPS. He had the Lord’s guidance and the Lord led them in a different direction. In verse 18, we are told that God led them around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And God had a reason and a purpose for that, we are told. If the Israelites had gone on that direct route through the land of the Philistines, They would have encountered not only the Egyptian military who had a presence there, but they would have also ran into the Philistines, and both of these were peoples who were experienced in war and prepared for war. The Israelites were not yet prepared for war.

You’ll notice in verse 18 it does say that the Israelites were equipped for battle, but that means that they were organized into military-like units. It doesn’t mean that they were really ready to wage war. And so the Lord knew that if the Israelites went that way, they faced the Egyptians, they faced the Philistines, they saw war, that they immediately would have made a U-turn and headed right back into Egypt.

And we can safely say that according to the Israelites’ understanding and wisdom, such as it was, that going that roundabout way to the Promised Land, going south instead of north, probably, most certainly made no sense to them. They probably thought to themselves, why would God bring us into the wilderness when obviously there is a much quicker way to go into Canaan? We do know for sure that the Israelites were second-guessing the Lord’s guidance later in our passage. They were not happy about the way that the Lord was leading them.

Beginning in chapter 14, after the Israelites have already gone south toward the wilderness, the Lord tells them that they are to turn around, they are to head back north, and go, kind of backtrack, and go in the direction that they came from. And the place, according to chapter 14, where the Lord was leading them was, according to human wisdom, the very last place that they wanted to be. They were in the wilderness. They ended up in a place where they were surrounded by wilderness, except right behind them was the Red Sea, the ocean. And so if you were to choose for Israel the one place where they would be the most vulnerable to defeat by Pharaoh’s armies, it was right there where the Lord led them. They were like sitting ducks surrounded by the wilderness with the water of the Red Sea behind them. There was no way, humanly speaking, there was no way that they could escape from Pharaoh there.

And not surprisingly, once the Israelites saw the Egyptians bearing down on them, after Pharaoh changed his mind again and decided that he didn’t want his slaves to leave Egypt after all, he sent his chariots, his armies after the Israelites. And once the Israelites saw them coming towards them, they let Moses know just how absurd it was, how foolish it was that he led them there. He said, they say to Moses in verse 11, chapter 14, what have you done to us in bringing us out of Egypt? Moses, what in the world are you doing? Why have you led us here to this place where we will certainly die? And of course, they are complaining against Moses, but really, in their hearts, they were complaining against the Lord. So they say, Moses, Were there no graves in Egypt to bury us in? There was plenty of cemetery space there. Why did you lead us into the wilderness for us to die out here?

Well, you know, because you know the story of Exodus, and I know, that the Lord knew exactly what he was doing in leading the Israelites to that very spot. He was preparing for their deliverance. He was preparing for the destruction of the Egyptians in the most spectacular fashion in a way that would bring him the most glory in causing the Red Sea to part and then to come crashing down on top of the Egyptians. And so we know that the back and forth movements of their march as they came out of Egypt, these were a ruse to get Pharaoh to think that they were confused and helpless in the wilderness. And that of course encouraged Pharaoh to try to go out to recapture his slaves but ultimately it was the Lord’s will that the Egyptians would be put to death and the Israelites, his people, he would save them. And so the Lord was leading his people according, not to human wisdom, not according to what we think would have been best, but according to his own purposes, his redemptive, his saving purposes for his people. It was inexplicable to the Israelites why they should be led to this place next to the Red Sea, surrounded by wilderness, where they were so vulnerable to the Egyptians. But the Lord, of course, knew exactly what he was doing.

And so often, in our own lives, the circumstances, the events, the places where the Lord and his providence brings us seem to us to be inexplicable. They don’t always make sense, do they? Why has God brought me into this place where I’m struggling so much? Where I’m suffering? Why has God allowed my child to be afflicted with this sickness or this disease? Why has God not opened the door of employment for me? I’ve been praying to Him for this open door and it has not appeared. Why did God permit my husband or wife or my brother or sister to die so young when they should have had so many more years of life to live?

Well, there was a reason why the Lord had the Israelites backtrack and put themselves in an apparently hopeless and impossible situation. And there is a reason why God guides you and leads you in the way that he does. Even when he leads you, through seasons of pain, suffering, and circumstances that are perplexing, confusing. God has reasons for leading you the way that He does. And His reasons, although He does not reveal them to us, we know that His reasons are perfectly wise, they are infinitely good, they are even loving. What to you and me is inexplicable, confusing, is to God all part of his perfect, his well-ordered plan for all things, which includes preparing us for that heavenly destination that he has for us, an eternity of joy in his presence. He is causing all things to work towards that for our good.

And there are times when, with the benefit of hindsight, Things begin to make more sense. There are times when you can look back on your life and see how the Lord brought you through a season or through circumstances that at the time seemed so confusing and yet it seems to make a little more sense. That was certainly the case with the Israelites. At this point in the story, their backs are against the Red Sea. They are completely baffled why the Lord would lead them there. They were easy prey for Pharaoh’s chariots. If Psalm 23 had been written at the time, I doubt they would have found much comfort in it. He leads me beside still waters. That was not the verse that would have encouraged them at that time. But on the other side of the water, when they saw the Egyptian armies drowned in the Red Sea, it all made perfect sense. God had led them there not to destroy them, but to destroy their enemies and to deliver them all in a way that would bring him glory and praise.

And when it comes to the confusing and sometimes seemingly senseless circumstances that God leads you and me through, he may or may not make things clearer with the passing of time. But when Christ returns in his glory, when he brings his kingdom and fullness, when you and I have entered into that heavenly glory that he has promised us, when we are enjoying the fullness of life and joy in the presence of Christ, I believe that in some way we will have perfect hindsight then. We’ll be able to see what we do not see now, that God in all the circumstances of our lives, even the most painful circumstances. He was there. He guided us there and he led us through that in order to fulfill his purposes for us, which again are good and loving and wise. In the meantime, though, he calls us to walk by faith. And part of that means yielding to the will of God, accepting that these circumstances, I don’t like them, they are difficult, nevertheless, it is God’s will that I should be here. He led me here. We yield ourselves to the providence of God, to His divine guidance, His sovereign work over us and over our circumstances.

This is why we read responsibly Psalm 25, verse 10 says, All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. All the paths of the Lord, not just the good paths, not just the enjoyable paths, but all the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness.

So God guides us by His perfect wisdom. The second truth is this, God guides you and me with his presence, with his presence. In chapter 13 verses 21 and 22, Moses describes how the Lord led the people of Israel with this pillar of cloud and fire. And let’s listen to those verses again. Verses 21 and 22 of chapter 13. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.

Now this wasn’t two separate pillars, this was one pillar. And by day it appeared as a towering pillar of cloud in the sky, and by night it was a pillar of fire, so it lit up the sky. And it was by this pillar of cloud and fire, or we could put it this way, it was by the presence of the Lord Himself, as He was present in that pillar, that He led the people of Israel throughout their entire wilderness wanderings.

Now there is one way in which there is a huge difference between how the Lord led the people of God then and how the Lord leads us today as Christians. And there is one way, when we consider this pillar of cloud and fire, in which there is a great similarity in how the Lord led the people of Israel then and how he leads us today.

First, let’s consider the difference. Unlike with the Israelites in the days of Exodus, the Lord does not lead you and me today with such a visible sign that makes it obvious the direction that we are to go, that gives clear and unmistakable guidance in all the decisions that you face in the course of this life. The Israelites didn’t have to discern somehow the direction that God would have them to go or whether they were to simply remain camped where they were, but the pillar of cloud and fire told them or at least led them and indicated them explicitly what they were to do. And not only that, but this kind of direct guidance from the Lord, this direct revelation from God continued for the people of Israel. God often provided guidance for the nation or for even individuals through the prophets who spoke the word of the Lord. Sometimes they received guidance from the Urim and the Thummim. Once God gave guidance to one individual through a dew-soaked fleece.

And as Christians, when we Read the Old Testament, and even parts of the New Testament, but when we read about how the Lord led his people in this way, with direct revelation, explicit guidance and direction, we are tempted to become a little jealous, aren’t we? Wouldn’t it be great if God were to guide us with specific answers to our specific questions? Knowing his will for us, the direction we should go, wouldn’t that be so much easier?

Some of you, when you were little, perhaps, you may have had, or perhaps one of your friends had, a toy called a Magic 8 Ball. I’m not approving of this toy, by the way. Don’t buy one. Don’t buy one for your kids. There’s actually some real pagan ideas mixed up with this. But anyway, the Magic 8 Ball, I had one. But the reason you buy one is supposedly it tells you what you should do. And so you ask it a question. And you might say, for example, shall I eat at McDonald’s today? And you shake the Magic 8 Ball, and you look into this little window on it, and an answer would pop up. It would say something like, yes, definitely. or my reply is no.

And when you face a difficult decision and you just don’t know what is the right direction to go, what is the right way to choose, that’s when you think, I wish God would give us something like a magic eight ball where I could ask him a question and receive a definite answer. Lord, shall I major in engineering? The answer, outlook not so good. Lord, shall I ask this young lady to marry me? Answer, as I see it, yes. Lord, if I move to another state, will you provide a job for me? Answer, you may rely on it. Wouldn’t that be nice?

But that’s not the way that the Lord guides and directs us today. Rather, he leads us in a different way. He leads us by giving us His Word, by giving us the Scripture, by giving us His Spirit, and by His Word, by His Spirit, He gives us wisdom and enables us to make decisions that are in accordance with what He wills. And as part of that, He calls you and me to pray for our decisions. Part of that involves going to the Scriptures, learning His Word. Is there any guidance? Has God revealed anything in the Scriptures that bears upon this decision that I need to make? We are to seek godly counsel and advice from others. In a multitude of counselors, there is safety. We are to carefully weigh options. We are to consider how this direction or that direction may be a better use of our abilities or resources or gifts in order to serve Christ and His Kingdom. And these are the ways in which we are to seek guidance from God. Again, He doesn’t give us an explicit, direct answer. But when we seek His guidance in this way, prayerfully, going to His Word, using the wisdom that He has given us, God gives us the assurance that when we do so, He will guide us. He will bless us in that. Proverbs 16.3 says, commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established.

You can put it this way. The difference between how God led his people then and how he leads us now as Christians is the same difference between how a child is led and how an adult guides his way. When you were a child, you were led by your parents. Literally, they led you by the hand. They made your decisions for you. But when you became an adult, you had to make your own decisions. You had to use the discernment, the wisdom, the judgment that hopefully you have gained over the years. Here in Exodus, under the Old Covenant, God led the Israelites by the hand, as it were, with this pillar of cloud and fire. But now He directs you in a different way. He enables you to use, by His Spirit, by His grace, to use that discernment and wisdom that He gives to you through His Word in order to direct your paths.

That’s the difference between then and now, but there is one way in which the Lord’s guidance is very much the same when we consider the Israelites and when we consider our situation, and that is this. Just as the Lord was truly with the Israelites, just as his presence was there in that pillar of cloud and fire, just as God Almighty was with his people in all the ways in which they went, so the Lord is with us today. Christ is with us. And with the coming of Christ into the world, with the exaltation of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, with His ascension to the right hand of the Father, with His pouring out His Holy Spirit on His church, there is an even more glorious way that the Lord is with us today, more glorious than the way in which He was with His people then. And that is this, that Christ Himself, He dwells in us. He is no longer merely above us or next to us in this pillar of cloud and fire, but he says he dwells within us. He and the Father make their home in us by the Spirit. The Lord dwells within, within our hearts. And what this means is that no matter where God guides you, no matter how arduous and difficult the path may be, down which he calls you to walk in this world, no matter how isolated or lonely you may feel at times, you can know with certainty that Jesus is there with you. He is with you every step of the way because, as he promises, he will never leave you, nor forsake you, and he has made his home within you. within your hearts.

And so God guides us with his presence. The third truth we see here in this passage concerning how God leads us is this, God guides us for his own glory. In chapter 14 verse 4, the Lord says this, And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them, and I will get glory over Pharaoh and all his hosts, and the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord. and they did so.

Notice how according to this verse that one of the purposes of the Lord in directing and guiding his people in the way that he did was that the Egyptians might know that he is the Lord. Of course the Egyptians would not come to know him as the Lord in a saving way they came to know him as the Lord, as their judge, their destroyer But they would acknowledge that the Lord is the true God. They would have no choice but to confess, to acknowledge, even if not with their lips, with their hearts. Pharaoh is not God. The gods of the Egyptians are no gods, but the Lord alone is God. They would come to know him. They would give him glory in that way, and that’s how the Lord would give glory over Pharaoh.

When I was a brand new Christian, and some of you may have had a similar experience, but when I was brought to saving faith in Christ out of a real unbelieving, out of unbelief and a kind of agnosticism, it’s not atheism, I made this wonderful discovery by the grace of God that I, me, that I was known to God. that the God who created all things, the sovereign Lord, almighty God who upholds and sustains all things, that he knew me, that he knew me, that he loved me, that at least in part for me, he sent his son into the world to die, to take away my sin and guilt. That was a remarkable, life-changing discovery.

But it wasn’t long after that that, by the grace of God, I made an equally wonderful discovery, and that is this. That although, yes, I was known by God, although God did send His Son to die for me, for my sin, that that did not make me the center of the universe. That God, God was the true center of the universe. And therefore, the most important thing for God, the thing that was His goal, The object of His will and His purpose and all that He did in the world was not my salvation or the salvation of anyone for that matter, but His glory. And think about that. God has brought you to salvation in Christ for something greater than your salvation. For something greater than that you can enjoy the glories of heaven and escape the terrors of hell. But God has saved you for an even greater purpose than that, and that is to bring him glory, to bring him the glory, the praise of all creation, that he would be known as God and worshipped as God.

In addition to Pilgrim’s Progress, many of you are familiar with another book about a person who goes on a long journey, and that is The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. Pretty sure all of you, if not all of you, most of you know the story of the Hobbit, but in case you don’t, the hero of the Hobbit is a small, humble, man-like creature called a Hobbit. His name is Bilbo Baggins. And in the story, Bilbo is taken on this incredible adventure. He plays a key part in defeating a terrifying dragon, winning a great battle against the enemies, the forces of evil against the enemies of all that was good. And at the end of the book, Bilbo Baggins, he learns that all that took place in his adventure was actually in fulfillment of certain prophecies that had been written, ancient prophecies. and he asks his friend Gandalf about these prophecies if they have really come true in the things that he participated in. And this is what Gandalf says to him. He says, of course. And why should they not prove true? Surely you don’t disbelieve the prophecies because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself. You don’t really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck for your sole benefit? You are a fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you, but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all.

And as a Christian, in the providence of God in your life, in all the circumstances that he has ordained and fashioned for you, in all the ways in which the Lord leads you in this life, it is not all for your soul benefits, but it is all for his glory. As a Christian, God has been merciful to you. He loved you. He gave you his son. But like Bilbo Baggins, you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all. The real story of God’s guidance is how he will receive the praise, the adoration, the glory that is due to him. And he will receive that for what he has done for you. So God guides us for the sake of His own glory.

Now having said that, the wonderful thing about all of that is that what glorifies God for us as believers, what glorifies God is what is good for us. And the salvation that He works for you and for all His people, that is what brings God’s glory. And that’s the fourth and final truth that we’ll consider this morning. God guides you for your salvation.

After the Israelites vented all their frustration and anger against Moses, saying that they should have just stayed in Egypt, why did Moses have to lead them into the wilderness to die there? Weren’t there plenty of graves in Egypt that they could have been buried in? After hearing all of that, Moses doesn’t do and say what we would have done and said. We would have said to the Israelites, okay, Okay, you bunch of whiners and losers. If that’s the way you feel, then go find a leader to take you back into Egypt. I quit. I’m out of here.

But instead, Moses says this in verses 13 and 14. He says, Fear not. Stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent. and you know the rest of the story. And we’ll look at the rest of the story, Lord willing, next week. But the Lord parted the Red Sea, he led his people through on dry land, and then he destroyed all the Egyptians as they attempted to go through the Red Sea. So he led them to their salvation. And the Lord leads you, as a believer in Jesus Christ, for your salvation.

First, he guides you to the cross of Jesus Christ. Anyone whom the Lord is truly leading and guiding, anyone who is following the Lord, the very first place where He guides is to the cross of Jesus Christ. Because it was at the cross that the Son of God laid down His life for you and me, for sinners who were guilty of sin and deserving of that wrath that He endured for us. If your hope and trust is in Christ, His death means for you the forgiveness of sins, eternal life.

And there’s something that Moses says here at the very end of our passage that was true for the Israelites then as they were helpless before their enemies. It is true for you and me today. In verse 14, Moses says, the Lord will fight for you and you have only to be silent. Your salvation is not the result of your fighting, your doing, your acting. but it is by resting, it is by trusting, it is by faith and trusting yourself to the Son of God, to the Savior who fought for you, who died for you, who by His work, by His actions, you have been saved. You only have to be silent, rest in Christ, And that is how we come to receive the forgiveness of sins, eternal life.

And if you have not yet entrusted yourself to Jesus Christ and have not rested in Him, if you are relying somehow upon your own doing, your own working, come to Jesus, entrust yourself to Him, and you will receive that salvation, eternal life, the forgiveness of sins that we cannot attain by ourselves.

And once God in His grace leads us to the cross for our salvation, He leads us throughout our lives, again, throughout this earthly pilgrimage, throughout our sojourning, He leads us to that final salvation, our promised land, not Canaan, but heaven, that glory that He has promised and He has prepared for us. And so as a Christian then, the lesson that we can take from this passage is that it is the Lord who leads us, who guides us. Even your circumstances now, he has brought you into them, and he will direct and guide your path from here and forevermore. But all the ways and the paths that the Lord leads us down, both the pleasant and the painful, they are for your eternal good, for your salvation.

Let’s pray.
