More and more does it become clear to me that “I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with Mine eye” is the only proper and safe guide for us. It is better to err while seeking to walk with God than to go upon a level highway without individual faith in exercise. I am to walk with God and to spend and be spent for others down here. This is not pride; pride will soon wither and die down if I walk in the spirit of dependence and obedience to God. And further, we have to profit from every help God gives us, but also to try all things and prove what is of God, and to take forth the precious from among the vile that we may be as His mouth.
G. V. Wigram
