365 Proverbs for Daily Living

Day 14 – The Guard of the Path

so that he may guard the paths of justice and protect the way of his faithful followers. (Pro 2:8 CSB)

Read: Matthew 7:7-12

I’m not sure how many of you can make this claim, but my whole family has had a love affair… one with the book, Pilgrim’s Progress. For those of you who have lived under a rock, Pilgrim’s Progress is an old book by John Bunyan, written while he was in prison. It encapsulates what Bunyan knew of the Christian experience, based on his understanding of the scriptures.

The main character, Christian, lives in the City of Destruction. He is handed a little book, which tells him of the imminent destruction of the city. He knows he must leave to survive, and nobody believes him or travels with him. He finally leaves, with a great burden on his back, unsure where he is going. He is told at some point that he must enter through a wicket gate on the path. But when he gets to the gate, it is guarded. The Wicket Gate is shut, and the path is guarded by Good-will.

Christian has to knock on the gate, and request entrance. Good-will opens the gate, but Christian hesitates at the gate, and Good-will has to pull him through before Beelzebub can shoot him with his arrows.

Our family loved this book so much that we actually purchased multiple copies of it, and read each, then bought a game of the story. This exchange, where Good-will is keeping the gate closed, didn’t seem quite right to me. Why is the Path guarded, and who is this Good-will who guards it?

According to commentary, Jesus is the one who guards this gate, and though he keeps it closed to any who might try to force their way in, he opens to any who will knock. This aligns with what I know of scripture, too. That God is willing to allow anyone in who ask, and seek, and knock. Because, those who ask will receive, those who seek will find, and those who knock, the door will be opened to them. (Matt 7:7). But Jesus doesn’t just guard the gate, dear Christian. He guards the path. Our savior guards the path, so that those who travel on it can find their way home.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank you for guarding the path for us, and protecting us on this journey. Help me not to stray, today. Amen

Calm the storms that drench my eyes And dry the streams still flowing Casting down all waves of sin And guilt that overthrow me

I think that monster munch should do a very in poor taste like seasonal name changing thing. Idk what season it should be for. But I went to the John Bunyan museum today, and Pickled Bunyan is the best thing ever and so now I think monster munch should have terrible horrible Christian literature themed names for a time. Flamin hot could just be dantes inferno idk. I've not thought this far honestly. But pickled Bunyan is the best.

The other night I came to a sudden realization so stunning that I had to make a meme about it:

And then I said to myself, Can I keep going?

Yes I can:

Morning & Evening

Forward & onward, in Jesus' arms we experience heaven's choice joys due to faith's bright vision. Lord, put forth Your hands as we lift our songs of praise, to God alone, as we look forward to the return of Jesus. Yes, Lord! In our Pilgrim's Progress!

Charles H Spurgeon Our Christian Pilgrimage 2024 February 05 Morning Scripture “The things which are not seen.” — 2Co_4:18 Forward & Onward In our Christian pilgrimage, it is well to be looking forward. Forward lies the crown, and onward is the goal. Whether it be for hope, for joy, for consolation, or for the inspiration of our love, the future must be the grand object of the eye of…

All the tales the same Told before and told again A soul that's born in cold and rain Knows sunlight, sunlight, sunlight And at last can grant a name To a buried and a burning flame As love and its decisive pain Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

If my child asked me if they could get a $150 colonial men's wig for Christmas, I would look them dead in the eye and say, "Why can't you get a Bedford Crop instead?"
