When we can't see where we are going we long for someone to lead us by the hand. It is reassuring IF the person can be trusted. But what Bar-Jesus needed was someone to lead his spirit, his soul. For he was perverting the ways of the Lord (v10). In fact the hand of the Lord was upon him for judgment. What he needed was to be led by the Holy Spirit as were the Elders (v1-3). Look as the confident Saul/Paul (v9-10) speaks boldly by the Holy Spirit. Am I willing to so deny self, to afflict the soul, to pray and fast, that I might be led by the invisible but real hand of God?
