The Guidance of the Spirit
Trail magazine is one of the world’s most widely distributed outdoor magazines.
The February 2004 issue provided directions for climbers descending Britain's highest peak, Ben Nevis. Returning from the 4,409-foot summit in bad weather requires explicit instruction, and the article gave step-by-step directions on getting down safely.
There was only one problem. The directions were wrong.
Roger Wild, the mountain safety adviser for the Mountaineering Council of Scotland, discovered the mistake and immediately contacted the magazine.
He warned, “Anyone following a bearing of 281 degrees from anywhere close to the summit cairn or shelter will be taken directly over the north face.” Anyone stepping off the north face would fall 1,000 feet to death.
The magazine admitted that a crucial step in the instructions was inadvertently omitted.
Today, we will examine some ways the Holy Spirit guides us. While He sometimes leads us along difficult and challenging paths, we are always safe in His presence. His guidance is always trustworthy.
Join us as we learn to follow the many ways the Holy Spirit leads us.
