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 107:8,9 Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.


The Word for the day--
Psalm 72:17-19 His Name shall endure for ever: His Name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed. 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.




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



05.03 Morning:

Be ye . . . perfect, even as your Father which is in Heaven is perfect.


I am the Almighty God; walk before Me, and be thou perfect.―Ye shall be holy unto Me: for I the Lord am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be Mine.

Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Ye are complete in Him, which is the Head of all principality and power.―Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity.―Be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

Blessed are the undefiled in the Way, who walk in the Law of the Lord.―Whoso looketh into the perfect Law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.―Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the Way Everlasting.

Mt 5:48 Ge 17:1 Le 20:26 1Co 6:20 Col 2:10 Tit 2:14 2Pe 3:14 Ps 119:1 Jas 1:25 Ps 139:23,24
