Behold I send an angel (Christ the angel of the covenant) before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee in the place which I have prepared. Exodus 23:20. And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall he called the way of holiness, the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those, the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. Christ himself is this way, the new and living way; who gives, not only life and strength that we walk and be not weaned, John 14:6. Hebrews 10:20. but keeps also the road clear, even the last road of death, for no lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there. Isaiah 35:8-9.
O Lord, let me never err from this way; and suffer no other temptation to come near me, but what humbles and stirs me up to prayer, and the right use of thy word in faith, that I may be carried through all difficulties, and especially in time of death.
Is he a way? he leads to God,
The path is drawn in lines of blood;
There would I walk with hope and zeal,
Till I arrive at Sion’s hill.
Aspire my soul to glorious deeds,
The captain of salvation leads:
March on, nor fear to win the day,
Though death and hell obstruct the way.
Should death, and hell, and powers unknown.
Put all their forms of mischief on,
I shall be safe for Christ displays
Salvation in more sovereign way.
