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--
Psalm 3:3,4 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.


Here is the entire Psalm testifying of the LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--

Psalm 3
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

Lord, how are they increased that trouble Me! many are they that rise up against Me. Many there be which say of My soul, There is no help for Him in God. Selah. But Thou, O Lord, art a shield for Me; My glory, and the Lifter up of Mine head.

I cried unto the Lord with My voice, and He heard Me out of His Holy Hill. Selah. I laid Me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained Me. I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against Me round about. Arise, O Lord; save Me, O My God: for Thou hast smitten all Mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. Salvation belongeth unto the Lord: Thy blessing is upon Thy people. Selah.


Luke 24:44 And He said unto them, These are the Words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me.


Again, the Word for the day--Psalm 3:3,4 But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.



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

03.16 Morning:

For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

My days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.--Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.--Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.--They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall be changed: but Thou art the same, and Thy years shall have no end.--Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Jas 4:14 Job 9:25,26 Ps 90:5,6 Job 14:1,2 1Jo 2:17 Ps 102:26,27 Heb 13:8
