13 And I will also be your ^alight in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the ^bpromised land; and ye shall ^cknow that it is by me that ye are led.

13a	Alma 5: 37 (37-38). 37 O ye workers of iniquity; ye that are ^apuffed up in the vain things of the world, ye that have professed to have known the ways of righteousness nevertheless have gone ^bastray, as ^csheep having no ^dshepherd, notwithstanding a shepherd hath ^ecalled after you and is still calling after you, but ye will not ^fhearken unto his voice! D&C 88: 66. 66 Behold, that which you hear is as the ^avoice of one crying in the wilderness—in the wilderness, because you cannot see him—my voice, because my voice is ^bSpirit; my Spirit is truth; ^ctruth abideth and hath no end; and if it be in you it shall abound.
b	1 Ne. 2: 20. 20 And inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall ^aprosper, and shall be led to a ^bland of promise; yea, even a land which I have prepared for you; yea, a land which is choice above all other lands. 1 Ne. 4: 14. 14 And now, when I, Nephi, had heard these words, I remembered the words of the Lord which he spake unto me in the wilderness, saying that: ^aInasmuch as thy seed shall keep my ^bcommandments, they shall ^cprosper in the ^dland of promise. Jacob 2: 12. 12 And now behold, my brethren, this is the word which I declare unto you, that many of you have begun to search for gold, and for silver, and for all manner of precious ^aores, in the which this land, which is a ^bland of promise unto you and to your seed, doth abound most plentifully.
c	Ex. 6: 7. 7 And I will take you to me for a ^apeople, and I will be to you a ^bGod: and ye shall ^cknow that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. Ex. 13: 21. 21 And the ^aLord went before them by day in a pillar of a ^bcloud, to ^clead them the way; and by night in a ^dpillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: TG Guidance, Divine.
