Isaiah 48:17
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
God identifies Himself as our teacher and the one who leads us in paths of true benefit.
The Lord doesn't merely give instructions from afar—He is personally our teacher, the one who redeemed us and continues to teach us what profits us eternally. He leads us in the way we should go, not according to our preferences but according to what truly benefits us. His teaching and leading are expressions of His redemptive love.
