| As the Lord’s Day Approaches |
As the Lord’s Day approaches, I think this excerpt from the Memoirs of the Rev. Augustus Toplady contains some good thoughts for us to think on.
Sunday, 31 [1768]. . . .
How sweet is the work of the ministry, when attended with the unction of power of the Holy one! My soul has been very barren, ever since last Lord‘s Day; but this sabbath has been a sabbath indeed.
Spent the evening both agreeably and profitably, in reading the confession of faith, charge, and sermon, delivered at Bristol last August . . . Blessed be God for the advancement of his interest among us, under whatever form. Lord, increase the number of thy faithful witnesses, every where and in every denomination of Protestants!
—Augustus Toplady, The Complete Works of Augustus Toplady (Sprinkle Publications, 1987), 12.
May each of us, especially those of you who serve in ministry, have such a Lord’s Day, and pray such a prayer.
by David

Nice quote. For His peace to rule our hearts is so undeserved, and yet He is more gracious than are unworthiness, for the Cross has made us worthy to come into His throne room.
God saves us for His glory, and for His pleasure, and He is quite glorified when we are full of His joy, because of His great mercy and love, wherewith He loved us, and content in His sovereignty. Especially when we are in the deepest of pits. Though it's not required that we be continually in the pit.
Have a wonderful Lord's Day.
