He Will Guide You

“The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” – Isaiah 58:11

Charing Cross is the geographical center of London, England, and the location of one of the primary railway stations in the city.

The name stems from the fact that King Edward I erected a cross on that site in memory of his wife Eleanor after her death in 1290.

“All distances in the United Kingdom from London are measured from Charing Cross.”

This spot is referred to simply as ‘the cross.’

A lost child was one day picked up by a London Metropolitan Police officer. The child was unable to tell where he lived.

Finally, in response to the repeated questions of the officer, and amid sobs and tears, the little boy said, ‘If you will take me to the cross, I think I can find my way from there.’

This story of the little boy inspired Jessie Brown Pounds to write the hymn “The Way Of The Cross Leads Home”.

Look to Jesus in all that you do and He will guide you.

Give thanks to the Lord that He loves you and He will guide you.

“The way of the cross leads home,
The way of the cross leads home;
It is sweet to know, as I onward go,
The way of the cross leads home.” – Jessie Brown Pounds

“He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.” – Psalm 25:9
