「耶和華啊，我曉得人的道路不由自己。行路的人，也不能定自己的腳步」。（耶利米書十章23 節）
「求你.....引導我走平坦的路。」（詩篇廿七篇11節）
很多人非但不聽從神的指導，反要指導神；非但不跟神走，反要神跟他走。 ── 凱恩夫人（Madame Guyon）
羊的道路，是根據牧者的聲音。周圍雖有很多的聲音，但羊只認得一個聲音。羊雖然是愚昧的動物， 但牠認得牧者的聲音。「牧人在前頭走，羊也跟著他，因為認得他的聲音。」（約翰福音十章4節）
聖徒與主也是一樣，主說祂是好牧人，聖徒是祂的羊。當我聽見主的聲音時，在我的道路上就充滿了平安與喜樂，若聽不見牧者的聲音，是一件可怕的事！因為恐怕你要走到危險的路上。兄姊們， 在你的道路上有學習聽見主的聲音嗎？── 光

“O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.”(Jer. 10:23.)
“Lead me in a plain path.” (Psalm 27:11.)
Many people want to direct God, instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him; to show Him a way, instead of passively following where He leads. ---Madame Guyon.
I said: “Let me walk in the field”; God said: “Nay, walk in the town”; I said: “There are no flower there”; He said: “He flowers, but a crown.”
I said: “But the sky is black, There is nothing but noise and din”; But He wept as He sent me back, “There is more,” He said, “there is sin.”
I said: “But the air is thick, And fogs are veiling the sun”; He answered: “Yet souls are sick, And souls in the dark undone.”
I said: “I shall miss the light, And friends will miss me, they say”; He answered me, “Choose tonight, If I am to miss you, or they.”
I pleaded for time to be given; He said: “Is it hard to decide? It will not seem hard in Heaven To have followed the steps of your Guide.”
I cast one look at the fields, Then set my face to the town; He said: “My child, do you yield? Will You leave the flowers for the crown?”
Then into His hand went mine, And into my heart came He; And I walk in a light Divine, The path I had feared to see.
