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--
Acts 4:10-12 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom ye crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the Stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the Head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--

"This is the Stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the Head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

Isaiah 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a Foundation a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious corner Stone, a sure Foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.


Again, the Word for the day--Acts 4:10-12 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom ye crucified, Whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the Stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the Head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.



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


03.24 Morning:

He [Abraham] believed in the Lord; and He counted it to him for Righteousness.


He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in Faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for Righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.

The promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his Seed, through the Law, but through the Righteousness of Faith.

The just shall live by Faith.--Let us hold fast the profession of our Faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)--
Our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.--With God nothing shall be impossible.--And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Ge 15:6 Ro 4:20-24 4:13 1:17 Heb 10:23 Ps 115:3 Lu 1:37,45

03.24 Morning:

(Genesis 15:6)And he believed in the Lord; and He counted it to him for Righteousness.


(Romans 4:20-24)He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in Faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for Righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on Him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

(Romans 4:13)For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his Seed, through the Law, but through the Righteousness of Faith.

(Romans 1:17)For therein is the Righteousness of God revealed from Faith to Faith: as it is written, The just shall live by Faith.--(Hebrews 10:23)Let us hold fast the profession of our Faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)--(Psalm 115:3)But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.--(Luke 1:37)For with God nothing shall be impossible.--(Luke 1:45)And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be His Glorious Name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen, and Amen.
