WE NEED A GUIDE, NOT GUIDANCE

I opened a concordance to look up the word "guidance," expecting to find a long list of verses promising guidance from God. Guidance wasn’t there, but instead the word "guide" and a number of verses promising that God Himself would be the guide of His people.

People who are blind need guide dogs, not guidance dogs! Even if dogs were capable of talking, how unsatisfactory it would be if they were mere bystanders, shouting warnings to the blind from a distance: "Careful now! You’re approaching a hole. Watch out for the curb!"
