Divine guidance

When I saw that God said, "I will lead the blind by a road they do not know" (Isaiah 42:16) I thought itsounded a bit harsh.  Surely it would be kinder to lead those of us who are having trouble seeing the way ahead by a path that we have travelled before. 
But then - if we only went where we've been, how would we ever see the wonderful new things that God knows about?
And now I am excited to know that when we allow ourselves to be led by God, it is always with the promise that "I will guide them, I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do, and I will not forsake them."
