Fri.-Sabbath, 7/26-28/13 Devotion

Wahoo--Sunday is almost here!  Here is Thomas Watson, in "A Divine Cordial," touching on assurance. May it help us in our preparations for Sunday's church worship of God:

"God's purpose is the ground of assurance.

"Here is a sovereign elixir of unspeakable comfort to those who are the called of God. Their salvation rests upon God's purpose. 'The founda-tion of God stands sure, having this seal. The Lord knows those that are His. And, let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity,' (2 Tim. 2:19). Our graces are imperfect, our comforts ebb and flow, but God's foundation stands sure. They who are built upon this rock of God's eternal purpose, need not fear falling away; neither the power of man, nor the violence of temptation, shall ever be able to overturn them."
