Fri.-Sabbath, 5/28-30/10 Devotion

Wahoo--it's almost Sunday! We *get* to go to church, and worship God corporately! In order to help get us ready, here is Thomas Watson, from his, "A Body of Divinity" book:

"Glorifying God consists in four things: 1. Appreciation, 2. Adoration, 3. Affection, 4. Subjection. This is the yearly rent we pay to the crown of heaven.

"[1] Appreciation. To glorify God is to set God highest in our thoughts, and to have a venerable esteem of Him. 'You, Lord, are most high for evermore.' 'You are exalted far above all gods.' There is in God all that may draw forth both wonder and delight. There is a constellation of all beauties; He is 'prima causa,' the original and spring head of being, who sheds a glory upon the creature. We glorify God, when we are God-admirers. Admire His attributes, which are the glistering beams by which the divine nature shines forth; His promises which are the charter of free grace, and the spiritual cabinet where the pearl of price is hid; the noble effects of His power and wisdom in making the world, which is called 'the work of His fingers,' (Psa 8:3). To glorify God is to have God-admiring thoughts; to esteem Him most excellent, and search for diamonds in this Rock only."
