Fri.-Sabbath, 9/19-21/08 Devotion

Wahoo--it's almost Sunday. Here's TW, to help get you ready for church, (from his "Beatitudes" book):

"Let us carry ourselves as the children of God in CHEERFULNESS. It was the speech of Jonadab to Amnon, 'Why are you, being the king's son, sad?' (2 Sam. 13:4). Why do the children of God walk so pensively? Are they not 'heirs of heaven'? Perhaps they may meet with hard usage in the world, but let them remember they are the seed-royal, and are of the family of God. Suppose a man were in a strange land, and should meet there with unkind usage, yet he rejoices that he is son and heir, and has a great estate in his own country; so should the children of God comfort themselves with this, though they are now in a strange country, yet they have a title to the Jerusalem above . . .
