Praise God—it is almost Sunday! In order to help us get ready for church, here is Thomas Watson, from his, "A Body of Divinity" book. . . .
"If God is a Spirit, then He is impassible [not possessing fleeting emotions]. God is not capable of being hurt. Wicked men set up their war banners, and bend their forces against God. They are said to fight against God, (as in Acts 5:39). But what will this fighting achieve? What hurt can they do to the Deity? God is a Spirit, and therefore He cannot receive any hurtful impressions."Wicked men may imagine evil against the Lord. Nahum 1:9: 'What do you imagine against the Lord?’ But God being a Spirit is impenetrable. The wick-ed may eclipse His glory, but they cannot touch His essence. God can hurt His enemies, but they cannot hurt Him. Julian the Apostate threw up his dag-ger into the air against Heaven, but could not touch the Deity.
"God is a Spirit, invisible. How can the wicked with all their forces hurt Him, when they cannot see Him? Hence all the attempts of the wicked against God are foolish, and prove to be failures. Psa. 2:2, 4: 'The kings of the earth set themselves against the Lord and against His anointed. He that sits in the heavens shall laugh.’ God is a Spirit, He can wound His enemies, but they cannot touch Him."
