How do we know God leads His people?

In Psalm 139:10, David expresses confidence in God's leading, stating, 'Even there shall thy hand lead me.' This metaphor of shepherding illustrates God's guidance in the lives of His people. Just as a shepherd carefully leads his flock away from danger and towards nourishment, so God provides direction to His elect. This leading is not merely theoretical; it involves His continuous involvement in the lives of His people, ensuring they navigate the paths set before them. Historically, God has demonstrated this through His word and providential actions, including the sending of His Son to embody the way for us. Ultimately, believers can be assured that as they follow Christ—the way, the truth, and the life—they will be led on the path that leads to eternal life and fellowship with God.
