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 108:4 For Thy mercy is great above the heavens: and Thy Truth reacheth unto the clouds.


The Word for the day--
II Samuel 24:14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the Hand of the Lord; for His mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.



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

06.06 Morning:

He will rest in His love.


The Lord did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: but because the Lord loved you.―We love Him, because He first loved us.―You, . . . hath he reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight.

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.―God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Lo a Voice from Heaven, saying, This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.―Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My Life, that I might take it again.―His Son, . . . Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express Image of His person, and upholding all things by the Word of His Power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High.
