Being Guided | Part 2

And then it occurs to him, “I was pretty silly to get so panicky just about being in that jungle. I could have made it on my own.” So he turns round. The guide isn’t there any longer. So, he says, “Well, now I can make it on my own.” Off he sets. About two days later, he’s in the middle of a bog. And every step he takes, he sinks a little deeper. And he doesn’t know what to do. He says, “I can’t ask for help again. Last time I got it and I didn’t do the right thing.”

The Holy Spirit says, “Let me help you.” And out he comes onto the road again, setting off. And they’re making fine progress, and then he thinks, “Well, I’ve still got the map.” And he pulls the map out and says to the Holy Spirit, “Maybe you’d like the map.” And the Holy Spirit says, “Thanks, I know the way. I don’t need the map.” He said, as a matter of fact, “I made the map.”

So, my question to you and me is, how often does that have to happen? See?
