The Discipline of Cheerfulness- Thomas Watson: Daily Devotions with Dead People
Welcome to Day 8 of our Advent series!
Today we're digging into a deeply challenging, deeply needed word from 1600s Puritan preacher Thomas Watson — a man of conviction, imagery, and clarity.
Watson argues that Christians should be marked by cheerfulness. Not forced positivity. Not fake smiles. But a settled, Spirit-anchored joy that springs from the eternal hope Christ has secured.
In this episode we explore:
✨ Why Christians throughout history urged one another toward cheerfulness
✨ The tension between real mental health struggles and biblical joy
✨ How modern culture often normalizes staying stuck in discouragement
✨ The powerful imagery Watson uses to call believers higher
✨ What it looks like to “serve the Lord with gladness” in this season
This devotional is honest, challenging, and ultimately full of hope.
And if you missed yesterday’s episode from Matthew Henry — go back!
His 42 promises of God make today’s reflection even richer.
