“We please God when we comply with His will… We please God when we do the work He sets before us… We please God when we dedicate our hearts to giving Him the best of everything. We please God when we serve Him with love, fervency, and zeal. There is but one God. Therefore there is but One whom we must please, namely, God.”
Thomas Watson (1620-1686) Puritan preacher in Glorifying God: A Yearlong Collection of Classic Devotional Writings (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 2009) June 26 reading.
