Good morning,
Pithy gems from Thomas Watson #3
What good will it do a man when he is in Hell, that others think he has gone to Heaven?
~ ~ ~ ~
Godliness consists in a harmony between holy principles and holy practices.
~ ~ ~ ~
How can the unrepentant sinner be merry, who is heir to all God’s curses, and does not know how soon he may take up his lodgings among the damned?
~ ~ ~ ~
The more bitterness we taste in sin, the more sweetness we shall taste in Christ!
~ ~ ~ ~
Christ is never sincerely loved, until sin is sincerely loathed!
~ ~ ~ ~
He a fool, who minds his recreation more than his salvation!
~ ~ ~ ~
The greatest judgment God lays upon a man in this life, is to let him sin without hindrance.
~ ~ ~ ~
He who hides one rebel in his house is a traitor to the Crown.
Just so, he who indulges one sin is a traitorous hypocrite.
~ ~ ~ ~
It is better to go with difficulty to Heaven, than with ease to Hell! “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able!” Luke 13:24
~ ~ ~ ~
True happiness consists not in beauty, honor, riches (the world’s trinity)–but in the forgiveness of sin. “How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!” Psalm 32:1

Read these words of wisdom and then seek God for their application. There are challenges for each of us in this devotion.
