I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Psalm 32:8.....My better half and I are celebrating going on 24 years of marriage. One thing is certain, having been married for that period of time, experiencing rough times and great times you get to know each other intimately. Fact is, it only takes a glance or a quick read and I know what my wife is thinking (most of the time). This comes from the intimacy of understanding that only marriage or family relationships bring; the type of clarity of closeness.
Imagine the Psalmist here captures God's heart perfectly with crystaline detail. You realize that this is the kind of close intimacy God desires from us? That we are guided with the twinkle of His eye? This imagery (we know that God is Spirit from John 4:24) is of course pointing to a thought. Hebrew is a language of vast imagery, of word pictures. God guides us with his eye. He leads us beside the still waters, to borrow from another wonderful Psalm. Friend, we must press into God to develop this type of relationship....to capture His heart and sense His direction. Now that is the kind of direction that is not needful....it is bountiful and rich. Blessings.
