Fri.-Sabbath, 8/9-11/19 Devotion

In advance of this coming Lord's Day's church worship services, let us con-sider these good words from Thomas Watson's great book, entitled, "The Be-atitudes":

"If ministers must take all opportunities to preach, you must take all opportun-ities to hear. If there were twice or three times a week a certain sum of money to be distributed to all comers, then people would go there. Now think thus with yourselves; when the Word of God is preached, The Bread of Life is dis-tributed, which is more precious than 'thousands of gold and silver’ [pieces], (Ps. 119:72). In the word preached, heaven and salvation is offered to you. In this field The Pearl of Great Price is hid. How you should 'flock like doves' to the windows of the sanctuary, (Isa. 60:8)!"
