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--
Titus 3:4-7 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the Hope of Eternal Life.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the Hope of Eternal Life."
I John 2:25 And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even Eternal Life.
Titus 1:2,3 . . in Hope of Eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; but hath in due times manifested His Word through preaching [cp. Rom 10:17], which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; . . .
Psalm 133:1-3 A Song of degrees of David.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity [cp.Jn 17:20-23] ! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even Life for evermore.
Again, the Word for the day--Titus 3:4-7 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the Hope of Eternal Life.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
05.11 Morning:
Ye are all the children of Light, and the children of the Day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the Day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of Light.―Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.―Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit.―Lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls.―Little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If ye know that He is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him.
