Sunday is coming, DV! Thank God! Here is Thomas Watson, from, "The Art of Divine Contentment”—in order to help prepare us for the church's worship of our Redeemer:
"God sees, in His infinite wisdom, that the same condition is not convenient for all. That which is good for one person, may be bad for another one. One season of weather will not serve everyone's circumstances; one needs sun-shine, another rain. One condition of life will not fit every person, no more than one suit of apparel will fit every body. Prosperity is not fit for all, nor yet adversity. If one person be brought low, perhaps he or she can bear it better; that person has a greater stock of grace, more faith and patience. He or she can 'gather grapes of thorns,' pick some comfort out of the cross.“ . . . Everyone cannot do this. Another soul is seated in an eminent place of dignity; he or she is more fit for it; perhaps it is a place that requires better judgment, which everyone is not capable of. Perhaps he or she can use his or her estate better; he or she has a public heart as well as a public position. The wise God sees that condition to be bad for one, which is good for anoth-er; hence it is that He places people in different spheres and places; some higher, some lower."
