I would to share some thoughts by another Puritan Thomas Watson,from his book on the Lords prayer. He is writing on Romans 14 v 8,which reads ,'If we live,we live to the Lord,and if we die,we die to the Lord,' It will be great comfort to us when we die if we have hallowed God's name in our life; (Hallowed to honour or to dedicate ) if we have loved Him with our hearts,praised Him with our lips,and honoured Him with our lives(Eph 1 v6) At the hour of death,all your eartly comforts will vanish, and thinking of riches or pleasures you have enjoyed will not give you one ounce of comfort. Ah , but to have a conscience witnessing that you have hallowed God's name, what a sweet peace and satisfaction this will give! How sweet will death be when they who have spent their lives honouring God, shall receive their reward! Abraham honoured God by his faith, Moses by his meekness,David by his zeal,and Paul for his love of Christ'
' I give you all the honour
And praise that's due Your name,
For you are the King of glory,
The Creator of all things'
Words Carl Tuttle
