The LORD is gracious

The LORD is gracious,
and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
(Psalm 145:8)

The Word for the YEAR--
Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


The Word for the month--
Psalm 18:1,2 I will love Thee, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my Rock, and my Fortress, and my Deliverer; my God, my strength, in Whom I will trust; my Buckler, and the Horn of my salvation, and my high Tower.


The Word for the day--
Psalm 31:1-3 In Thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in Thy Righteousness. Bow down Thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be Thou my strong Rock, for an House of defence to save me. For Thou art my Rock and my Fortress; therefore for Thy Name's sake lead me, and guide me.





Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]

02.13 Morning:

Upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a Man above upon it.

The Man Christ Jesus;--Made in the likeness of men.--Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death.

I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore--Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died, He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth, He liveth unto God.--What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before?--He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His Own right hand in the heavenly places, --In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Though He was crucified through weakness, yet He liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God.
