The Tree of Mercy

0

The Tree of mercy will not drop its fruit, unless shaken by the hand of prayer…How wicked are they, who instead of going to God for food, when they lack, they go to the devil; they make a compact with him, and if he will help them to a livelihood, they will give them their souls. Better starve, than to go to the devil for provender.
Whatever we receive from God is a gift. WE can give nothing to God but what He has given to us (1 Chron 29:14)…if all be a gift, then merit is exploded, and shut out of doors.
–Thomas Watson
