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--
Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto Eternal Life.


Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--

"Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto Eternal Life."

Romans 5:5 And Hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.


I John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.

Romans 8:38,39 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.

Titus 3:5-7 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.

John 17:3 And this is Life Eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent.

I John 3:1-3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this Hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.

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

Again, the Word for the day
--Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto Eternal Life.



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

06.09 Morning:

Never man spake like this Man.


Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into Thy lips: therefore God hath blessed Thee for ever.―The Lord God hath given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a Word in season to him that is weary.―His mouth is most sweet: yea, He is altogether lovely. This is my Beloved, and this is my Friend.

All bare Him witness, and wondered at the gracious Words which proceeded out of His mouth.―For He taught them as One having authority, and not as the scribes.

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.―The Sword of the Spirit, . . . is the Word of God.―The Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged Sword.―The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the Knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Joh 7:46 Ps 45:2 Isa 50:4 So 5:16 Lu 4:22 Mt 7:29 Col 3:16 Eph 6:17 Heb 4:12 2Co 10:4,5
