Fri.-Sabbath, 12/20-22/19 Devotion

Yes—it is almost Sunday! We GET to go to church! In order to help get us ready for Sabbath worship, here is the great Thomas Watson, from his book, "The Happiness of Drawing Near to God":

"Let us think about the excellencies of God. He is the ‘God of glory,’ (Ps. 29:3). He is full of wonderful beauty—in comparison of Whom both angels and men are but as the ‘small dust of the balance.’ He is the ‘God of love,’ (2 Cor. 13:11). God triumphs in acts of mercy. This very much encourages us in our coming to Him Who delights to display the banner of His free grace to sin-ners. . . .

"God is the most sovereign good, the wonder of love; He is ready to shed forth the silver streams of His bounty to us poor creatures. This, if anything, will make us willing to draw near to Him and rest in Him as the center of our happiness."
