Fri.-Sabbath, 5/17-19/13 Devotion

Yippee--Sunday is almost here!  In order to help get us ready for church, here is Thomas Watson, from his "A Plea to the Godly" book:

"A righteous man is of a more excellent birth. Alexander the Great feigned himself to be son to Jupiter. Every good Christian is high-born; he is born of God, and that is more than to come from princes and be of the royal blood. David thought it no small honor to be the king's son-in-law, (1 Samuel 18:18). Oh, what an infinite honor is it to be regener-ated by the Spirit and enrolled among the first-born of heaven! The righteous man derives his pedigree from the ancient of days, (Daniel 7:9). He gives the fairest nameplate, the eagle and the lion; he is near akin to the Lion of the tribe of Judah, (Isaiah 40:31)."
