The Christian Pilgrim by Thomas
Reed The Christian pilgrim has to journey to the heavenly Canaan
through the wilderness of this world. Therefore, like the Israelites
of old, his soul is sometimes discouraged because of the difficulty
of the way. The world frowns. Satan assaults. Providences darken. Corruptions
harass. All these things produce, for
a season, much discouragement. Like Peter, he looks at the raging
waves instead of the omnipotent Savior, and then he begins to
sink into despondency and would be overwhelmed in the depths
of mental affliction did not the compassionate Jesus stretch
out His hand of mercy and uphold him by His mighty power. Thus,
to every humble pilgrim, strength is imparted. Realizing views
of the faithfulness of Emmanuel are granted, and he is made to
rise superior to every discouragement, and to walk with increasing alacrity
and joy along the narrow way which leads unto eternal life. This Puritan devotional has been
