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 119:88 Quicken me after Thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of Thy mouth.



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

05.21 Morning:

My brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.

My grace is sufficient for Thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.―I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of Thy Righteousness, even of Thine only.―The gospel of Christ: . . . is the power of God unto salvation.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.―I also labour, striving according to His working, which worketh in me mightily.―We have this Treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

The joy of the Lord is your strength.―Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.
