You guide me with Your counsel
This phrase emphasizes God's active role in providing guidance and wisdom to His followers. The concept of divine guidance is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, seen in passages like Proverbs 3:5-6, where believers are encouraged to trust in the Lord for direction. The term "counsel" suggests a personal and intimate relationship between God and the believer, akin to a shepherd leading his sheep, as depicted in Psalm 23. Historically, the Israelites often sought God's counsel through prophets and the Law, highlighting the importance of divine wisdom in making righteous decisions. This guidance is not just for immediate circumstances but encompasses a lifelong journey of faith.

and later receive me in glory
This phrase points to the hope of eternal life and the believer's ultimate destiny with God. The word "receive" implies a welcoming into God's presence, reminiscent of Jesus' promise in John 14:2-3, where He speaks of preparing a place for His followers. The concept of "glory" here is often associated with the afterlife and the believer's transformation into a state of eternal communion with God, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15:42-44. This reflects the eschatological hope found throughout Scripture, where the faithful anticipate a future resurrection and glorification. The phrase also echoes the assurance of salvation and the believer's secure place in God's eternal plan, a theme prevalent in the New Testament.

Teaching Points
Divine Guidance
God provides wisdom and direction through His Word and Spirit. Believers are encouraged to seek His counsel in all aspects of life.

Eternal Perspective
Life on earth is temporary, and believers should live with the anticipation of eternal glory with God. This perspective can provide comfort and hope amid life's challenges.

Trust in God's Plan
Even when circumstances are difficult or confusing, trusting in God's plan and His ultimate purpose for our lives is crucial.

The Role of Faith
Faith is essential in accepting God's guidance and looking forward to the promise of glory. It requires a daily commitment to follow His lead.

Community and Accountability
Engaging with a community of believers can help reinforce the guidance and counsel of God, providing support and accountability.(24) To glory.--Better, With honour, as LXX. and Vulg.; or achar may be taken as a preposition: Lead me after honour, i.e., in the way to get it.

The thought is not of a reward after death, but of that true honour which would have been lost by adopting the views of the worldly, and is only to be gained by loyalty to God.

Verse 24. - Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel. The psalmist expresses full confidence in God's continual guidance through all life's dangers and difficulties, notwithstanding his own shortcomings and" foolishness." He then looks beyond this life, and exclaims, And afterward (thou wilt) receive me to glory. Even Professor Cheyne sees m this the story of Enoch spiritualized." "Walking with God," he says, "is followed by a reception with glory, or into glory; and he compares the passage with Psalm 49:16, which he has previously explained as showing that "the poet has that religious intuition which forms the kernel of the hope of immortality."
