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 89:18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our King.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"For the Lord is our defence"
Genesis 15:1 After these things the Word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy Shield ["defence" Ps 89:18], and thy exceeding great Reward.
Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield ["defence" Ps 89:18]; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise Him.
Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of Faith [Gal 2:20], wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Psalm 18:30 As for God, His Way is perfect: the Word of the Lord is tried: He is a buckler ["defence" Ps 89:18] to all those that trust in Him.
I John 2:1,2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous: and He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
"and the Holy One of Israel is our King."
Acts 2:25-28 For David speaketh concerning Him, I foresaw the Lord always before My Face, for He is on My right hand, that I should not be moved: therefore did My heart rejoice, and My tongue was glad; moreover also My flesh shall rest in hope: because Thou wilt not leave My soul in hell, neither wilt Thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to Me the ways of Life; Thou shalt make Me full of joy with Thy countenance.
John 1:49-51 Nathanael answered and saith unto Him [the Lord Jesus Christ], Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God; Thou art the King of Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. And He saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see Heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
I Timothy 6:13-16 I give thee charge in the sight of God, Who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, Who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; that thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in His times He shall shew, Who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the Light which no man can approach unto; Whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to Whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Again, the Word for the day--Psalm 89:18 For the Lord is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our King.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
04.02 Morning:
If ye do return unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve Him only.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols.--Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.--Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, Whose Name is Jealous, is a jealous God:--Serve Him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts.
Behold, Thou desirest Truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know Wisdom.--Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.--Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
