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 18:3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.


The Word for the day--
Ephesians 1:3-6 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all Spiritual blessings in Heavenly places in Christ: according as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in Love: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved.



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

03.09 Morning:

T
he Living God, Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.

Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statutes, which I command thee this day: lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; . . . then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, . . . for
[it is] He that giveth thee power to get wealth.

Except the Lord build the House, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the City, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so He giveth His Beloved sleep.--They got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but Thy right hand, and Thine arm, and the Light of Thy countenance, because Thou hadst a favour unto them.--There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift Thou up the Light of Thy countenance upon us.

1Ti 6:17 De 8:11,12,14,18 Ps 127:1,2 44:3 4:6

(Deuteronomy 8:14)Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, Which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; . . .

(Psalm 127:1,2)Except the Lord build the House, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the City, the watchman waketh but in vain.

Nothing long or such, but also, for ",,before the foundation of the world.."

Job 38:1-4 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou Me.
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Right?
