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--
Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the High and Lofty One that inhabiteth Eternity, Whose Name is Holy; I dwell in the High and Holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.



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

06.20 Morning:

Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages.

Go ye . . . into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you.―Whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My Name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.―The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.―God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, . . . in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, and fed Thee? or thirsty, and gave Thee drink? When saw we Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee? . . . Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.―Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Ex 2:9 Mt 20:4 Mr 9:41 Pr 11:25 Heb 6:10 1Co 3:8 Mt 25:37,38,40,34
