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--
Hebrews 13:14,15 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His Name.




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

05.30 Morning:


Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest.


Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, . . . because strait is the gate, and narrow is the Way, which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it.―The Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.―Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto Everlasting Life, which the Son of man shall give unto you.―Give diligence to make your calling and election sure: . . . for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the Everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.―So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.―The Lord shall be unto thee an Everlasting Light, and thy God thy glory.

Heb 4:11 Mt 7:13,14 11:12 Joh 6:27 2Pe 1:10,11 1Co 9:24,25 Heb 4:10 Isa 60:19

05.30 Morning:


(Hebrews 4:11)Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.


(Matthew 7:13,14)Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: because strait is the gate, and narrow is the Way, which leadeth unto Life, and few there be that find it.--(Matthew 11:12)And from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.--(John 6:27)Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto Everlasting Life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed.--(II Peter 1:10,11)Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the Everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.--(I Corinthians 9:24,25)Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

(Hebrews 4:10)For he that is entered into His rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.--(Isaiah 60:19)The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an Everlasting Light, and thy God thy glory.


Heb 4:11 Mt 7:13,14 11:12 Joh 6:27 2Pe 1:10,11 1Co 9:24,25 Heb 4:10 Isa 60:19



I Timothy 4:15,16 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.





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.

Ephesians 6:24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
