Fri.-Sabbath, 11/15-17/13 Devotion

Wahoo--Sunday is almost here! To help get us ready, here is Thomas Watson, from "The Art of Divine Contentment":

"The humble man is the contented man; if his estate be low, his heart is lower than his estate, therefore be content. If his esteem in the world be low, he that is little in his own eyes will not be much troubled to be little in the eyes of others. He has a meaner opinion of himself, than others can have of him. The humble man studies his own unworthi-ness; he looks upon himself as 'less than the least of God's mercies,' (Gen. 32:10); and then a little will content him. He cries out with Paul, that he is the chief of sinners, (1 Tim. 1:15). Therefore do not murmur, but admire. He does not say his comforts are small, but his sins are great. He thinks it is mercy he is out of hell, therefore he is contented. He does not go to carve out a more happy condition to himself; he knows the worst piece God cuts him is better than he deserves."
