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 18:30 As for God, His Way is perfect: the Word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in Him.


The Word for the day--
Psalm 12:6,7 The Words of the Lord are pure Words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Hear the entire Psalm--

Psalm 12

To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David.

Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. The Lord shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.



Again the Word for the day---Psalm 12:6,7 The Words of the Lord are pure Words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.



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


04.01 Morning:

The fruit of the Spirit is . . . joy.


Joy in the Holy Ghost.--Unspeakable and full of glory:

Sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing . . . exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.--We glory in tribulations.

Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith; . . . for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame.--These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.--As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.--The joy of the Lord is your strength.

In Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.--For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto Living Fountains of Waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Ga 5:22 Ro 14:17 1Pe 1:8 2Co 6:10 7:4 Ro 5:3 Heb 12:2 Joh 15:11 2Co 1:5 Php 4:4 Ne 8:10 Ps 16:11 Re 7:17
