Knowing divine guidance is associated with the presence of the Holy Spirit
Knowing divine guidance is associated with the presence of the Holy Spirit
Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying,
Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock?
Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm,
Dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
That led them through the deep,
As an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?
As a beast goeth down into the valley,
The Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest:
So didst thou lead thy people,
To make thyself a glorious name.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
