Fri.-Sabbath, 2/8-10/13 Devotion

Yippee--Sunday is almost here! In order to help us prepare for the church's worship of God, here is Thomas Watson, from his book, "The Beatitudes":

"Encourage your ministers by praying for them. Their work is great. It is a work that will take up their head and heart, and all little enough. It is a work fitter for angels than men. 'Who is sufficient for these things?,' (2 Corinthians 2:16). Oh pray for them! Christ indeed, when He ascended the mount and was to preach, needed none of the people's prayers for Him. He had a sufficient stock by Him, the divine nature to supply Him, but all His under-officers in the ministry need prayer. If Saint Paul, who abounded in the graces of the Spirit and supernatural revelations, begged prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:25), then surely other ministers need prayer who do not pretend to any such revelations."
