Leading" people in the Bible is about leading people in spiritual things, not natural ones. When the Bible talks about the Lord leading the people, it stands for that way He cares for us, from the most outward aspect of life down to the deepest recesses. All His leading intends to bring us to heaven, if we choose to follow.
