I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will guide you with my eye. -- Psalm 32:8, RLIV.
God's "eye" in a sense could be understood as referring to His wisdom. God's wisdom can be seen in the creation all around us as well in the way we are made. God originally created man with righteous wisdom in his heart, but this engrained wisdom has been marred by man's disobedience. Thus, the need to, by faith, heal the scars of sin through the blood of Jesus, and come to the words of wisdom revealed to us in the Bible. In this manner we can be instructed in Jehovah's ways that we may be guided by His eye of wisdom.
Nevertheless, God leads His children by means of His Holy Spirit. Also closely associated with being instructed in and guided by God's wisdom is chastisements designed to give correction to us a children of God. While such may not be pleasant to endure, we should not despise his chastisements, for we are assured that his chastening is because of His love for us as His children and will be for our own good. (Hebrews 12:6-11) What comfort we can draw from this assurance. This helps us to meekly submit to the chastening hand of our Heavenly Father.
