Thank God—Sunday is almost here (again)! God has 52 holy days a year (except on strange years when there are 53)—and they all fall on Sunday. In order to prepare us for church, here is Thomas Watson, from his great, "All Things for Good” book. . . .
"If you do not love God, you will love something else, either the world or sin; and are those things worthy of your love? Is it not better to love God than these? It is better to love God than the world, as appears in the following par-ticulars. . . ."If you set your love on worldly things, they will not satisfy you. You may as well satisfy your body with air, as your soul with earth. . . . Is it not better to love God? He will give you that which shall satisfy. . . . If you love worldly things, they cannot get rid of trouble of mind. If there is a ‘thorn' in the con-science, all the world cannot 'pluck' it out. . . . But if you love God, He can give you peace when nothing else can; He can turn the 'Shadow of death into the morning,' (Amos 5:8). He can apply Christ’s blood to refresh your soul; He can whisper His love by His Spirit, and with one smile He can scatter all your fears and disturbances."
