Sat./Sabbath, 12/1-2/07 Devotion

Wahoo--Sunday is *almost* here! In order to prepare you for church, here is Thomas Watson, from his "A Body of Divinity" book:

"As God's mercy makes the saints happy, so it should make them humble. Mercy is not the fruit of our goodness, but the fruit of God's goodness. Mercy is an alms that God bestows. They have no cause to be proud that live upon the alms of God's mercy. 'If I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head,' (Job 10:I5). All my righteousness is the effect of God's mercy, therefore I will be humble and will not lift up my head."
