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--
II Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.



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

03.26 Morning:

For the Kingdom of Heaven is as a Man travelling into a far country, Who called His own servants, and delivered unto them His goods . . .to every man according to His several ability.

Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey?

All these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will.--The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.--As every man hath received the Gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.--It is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.--Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Who is sufficient for these things?--I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Mt 25:14,15 Ro 6:16 1Co 12:11,7 1Pe 4:10 1Co 4:2 Lu 12:48 2Co 2:16 Php 4:13
