With the development of each fictional character, a wise guide arrives in each of their lifeโs.
As they place their faith in their wise guide, ultimately, he supports them toward their destiny.
Unlike many fictional movie characters however, real life is another matter altogether.
The Wisest Guide of All
Personally, my faith is not founded upon imaginary characters and their guides, but upon the wisest guide of all, even Jesus Christ.
Wise guides are not only wise, but they are also guides.
Guides direct, instruct, lead, shepherd and show us the way.
In the scriptures, the admonition to โCome, follow meโ is repeated several times.
Similar phrases such as, โWalk with me,โ โFollow me,โ โCome unto me,โ are also used regularly.
It is a very simple, direct, and powerful invitation.
The decision to follow Him, is a very personal one, that many of us choose to make.
I love these words from Hymn 116.
โCome, follow me,โ the Savior said.
Then let us in his footsteps tread,
For thus alone can we be one
With Godโs own loved, begotten Son.
I am so grateful for the two missionaries who introduced the restored Gospel to my parents in 1961, and for the inspired choice they made to follow the wisest guide of all and in his footsteps tread.
In the chorus of โI Am a Child of Godโ (Hymn 301) we find the words โLead me, guide me, walk beside me, help me find the way.โ
It is through our daily prayers, that I know He will guide us, lead us, and walk beside us.
Are you searching for a wise guide in your life?
If so, may I respectively suggest that you consider listening to a powerful message that our missionaries have to share about the wisest guide of all.
