"And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that way was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt" (Exodus 13:17). "Lean not on thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths" (Proverbs 3:5,6).
Looking back on how God led,
We can see in retrospect,
As the Word of God has said,
He was faithful to direct.
The paths beyond our understanding
We ourselves might not have taken.
But God was on the throne commanding,
And was never found mistaken.
Let us learn from what is past
To lean on Him who knows us best.
We shall surely find at last
That where He led, He also blessed.
