He leads me in right paths for His Name's sake (Ps. 23)
Though we ourselves do not know our right hands from our left, He is able to guide us and teach us His ways. Thought we cannot tell right from wrong, He is able to lead us in right paths by the Spirit He places in us: whether you walk to the left or to the right, you will hear a voice behind you saying, 'not that way; this way' (Is.30:21) And then you will know that I am your God, Who teaches you the way in which to walk, Who gives you songs in the night.
Christ gave His disciples two commands (after the first, which was to love one another). He told them to "go into all nations and teach..." but first, to "wait for the Gift of the Father." If we go before we wait, we find our own paths. But if we wait, the Spirit Himself will send us forth with His own power and energy, to find the paths of God.
