Drop Thankfulness
“When God has a rod in his hand, a godly man will have a psalm in his mouth. The devil’s smiting of Job was like striking a musical instrument; he sounded forth praise. . . . When God’s spiritual plants are cut and bleed, they drop thankfulness; the saints’ tears cannot drown their praises.”
Thomas Watson
Barbarism
“To give God oral praise and dishonour him in our lives is to commit a barbarism in religion, and is to be like those . . . who bowed the knee to Christ and then spat on him.”
Thomas Watson
Dying Times
“God’s providences, like his precepts, are to beat us off the world. Why does he send war and epidemics? . . . Surely dying times are to make men die to the world.”
Thomas Watson
Things Above
“A godly man . . . sets his affections on things above. He sends his heart to heaven before he gets there; he looks upon the world as but a beautiful prison and he cannot be much in love with his fetters, though they are made of gold.”
Thomas Watson
Least Bit
“When Christians complain at their condition, they forget that they are servants and must live on the allowance of their heavenly Master. You who have the least bit from God will die in his debt.”
Thomas Watson
Point of Prudence
“The soul being so precious, and salvation so glorious, it is the highest point of prudence to make preparations for another world.”
Thomas Watson
Ultimate Motivation
“The ultimate motivation in God’s heart for saving lost souls was so that they might become, throughout all eternity, trophies on display for all to see the magnificence and the surpassing riches of God’s grace in kindness in Christ.”
