The Works of Thomas Watson by Thomas Watson

To glorify God is to set God highest in our thoughts, and to have a venerable esteem of him. You, Lord, are most high for evermore! You are exalted far above all gods! There is in God'all that may draw forth both wonder and delight; there is a constellation of all beauties; he is the original and springhead of being, who sheds a glory upon the creature. We glorify God, when we are God-admirers! Admire his attributes, which are the glistening beams by which the divine nature shines forth! Admire his promises which are the charter of free grace, and the spiritual cabinet where the pearl of price is hid! Admire the noble effects of his power and wisdom in making the world, which is called the work of his fingers. To glorify God is to have God-admiring thoughts; to esteem him most excellent, and search for diamonds in this rock alone!
