Praise God—Sunday is fast approaching. In order to help prepare us for the church's worship of Almighty God on His holy day, here is Thomas Watson, from his "Heaven Taken by Storm" book:
"When this blessed [Sabbath/Sunday] approaches, we must lift up our heart in thankfulness to God, that He has put another opportunity into our hands for gaining heavenly wisdom. These are our spiritual harvest-days. Now the wind of God's Spirit blows upon the sails of our affections, and we may be much further on in our heavenly voyage. Christian, lift up your heart to God in thankfulness, that He has given you another golden season, and be sure you improve it. It may be the last. Seasons of grace are not like the tide; if a man misses one tide, he may have another."This Sunday approaching, we must in the morning dress and fit our souls for the receiving of the Word. The people of Israel had to wash their garments before the law was delivered to them. Our hearts must be washed by prayer and repentance, since the oracles of God are about to be delivered to us."
