I kept my faith, even when I said, "I am greatly afflicted."
Could Bunyan have written this deep and meaningful classic without his prison experience? Who
knows? But we do know that it is a clear spiritual principle that God increases our faith according
to our needs.
(Psalm 116:10
NRSV)
The year was 1660. John Bunyan was thrown into jail for preaching an unpopular Gospel. For 12
years he lingered there entirely cut off from the rest of the world except for his family and a few
friends who visited him. Yet if John Bunyan were here to testify this morning, he would say that
this was a time of deepening faith. Why? Because, God gave him faith equal to his needs. It was
during a second imprisonment that Bunyan wrote one of the most influential books ever
written--the spiritual classic, PILGRIM'S PROGRESS.
God of faith, challenge me today to use the faith that you have already given to me. Amen.
