When the leaders of the army wished to
know what they ought to do, they examined into what they had done when they
felt happiest and nearest to God: such are not the means prescribed by Heaven.
They should have asked themselves, "What does God command us in His
word?" It is not by our feelings that He will guide us, but by His
commandments. Our feelings may lead us astray. There is a way which seemeth right to
a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. The Word of God never misleads us. A Christian's walk
is in the Divine commandments: to act according to one's own sensations, one's
interior illumination, is the walk of the mystic.
