He Leadeth Me


God will instruct me and teach me in the way I should go. He will guide me with His eye. 
Psalm 32:8

I follow Jesus so I shall not walk in darkness, but I have the light of life. 
John 8:12


I trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. In all my ways I acknowledge Him and He directs my paths. 
Proverbs 3:5-6

    Beautiful, soft images. So peaceful and perfect with the scripture you selected. Love the Gaithers. I lived in Ohio 14 years with my late husband. Now remarried and living in Oregon. Quite a long way from the Midwest. God bless you. ~ Nancy

    Beautiful pictures! Autumn is indeed nice. You show that. And the Scripture passages you have chosen to accompany are very well chosen.

      Ceil, when I got up yesterday morning, there was the heavy fog that lasted most of the morning. I went out take photos...of course :) ...really great inspiration!

      Thanks, Anita...the fog was so thick here on Saturday morning so I went out to "play" in it...lol. I will be pretty excited about the snow IF we get any...I'm sure you get more than your share :)

    The first thing that came to my mind was the lyrics to that beautiful hymn:

    He leadeth me: O blessed thought!
    O words with heavenly comfort fraught!
    Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
    still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

    Refrain:
    He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
    by his own hand he leadeth me;
    his faithful follower I would be,
    for by his hand he leadeth me.

    Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
    sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
    by waters still, o'er troubled sea,
    still 'tis his hand that leadeth me.
    (Refrain)

    Lord, I would place my hand in thine,
    nor ever murmur nor repine;
    content, whatever lot I see,
    since 'tis my God that leadeth me.
    (Refrain)

    And when my task on earth is done,
    when by thy grace the victory's won,
    e'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
    since God through Jordan leadeth me.
    (Refrain)

    Perfect words to accompany your beautiful photos and Scriptures.

    GOD BLESS!

      Thanks, Sharon... this is one of my favorite old hymns...and the Martins (video on the post) sing it better than anyone I've ever heard. I thought it went to well with the fog photos. Blessings back to you!

    He is the ONLY Leader. And when it's foggy or cloudy or dark and we can't see where we're to walk/drive/go, we can rely only on Him, not on ourselves. Good reminder, good sharer.

    Thank you.

    Hello Debby, I can sense His leading day by day. The night season has taught me to trust when it is dark, for with Him there is not even a shadow. Let me know when you get that new camera :)
    I still think about using your photos often, just feel like we need to know one another longer LOL
    Our pictures I believe are a gift from the Lord and should be shared, but golly once we get famous....
    Love Your Post!
    Shalom, Roxy

      Hello Mary!

      Thank you for visiting and the sweet comments! I took the photos last Saturday morning...we had a dense fog and it made for some pretty great shots. The first thing I thought of was how the Lord lead us through those times when we can't see what's up ahead. We had been in the midst of a serious family crisis... just hours before...and then this fog was almost like a gift from God reminding me that He was there, guiding us through! I love it when that happens.

      I enjoy your posts very much also! Have a blessed weekend!

    Debby, you have gift for matching images with words. You've outdone yourself in this post. I LOVE the photos of the way made clear even in the fog. And I love "He Leadeth Me"--one of my favorites! I'm a leader in a small church plant. We meet in a school gym, and most of our members are young people. Despite our mundane surroundings, we have great music. We sing a good number of contemporary songs, but we also love the old hymns, and this is one of our favorites! :)

    Thanks so much for linking this to Grace at Home. I'm featuring you in this week's party!
