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 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
The Word for the day--
I Peter 5:4 And when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"And when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away."
Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want [cp."come short" Rom 3:23].
Colossians 3:4 When Christ, Who is our Life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.
I John 2:28,29 And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If ye know that He is Righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him.
I John 3:2,3 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.
Proverbs 4:9 She [Wisdom cp. 4:7] shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
Isaiah 28:5,6 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of His people, and for a Spirit of Judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for Strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
Isaiah 62:1-4 For Zion's sake will I not hold My Peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the Righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the Salvation thereof as a Lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see Thy Righteousness, and all kings Thy glory: and Thou shalt be called by a New Name [cp. Rev 3:12], which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken [cp.Mk 15:34]; neither shall Thy land any more be termed Desolate: but Thou shalt be called Hephzi–bah, and Thy land Beulah: for the Lord delighteth in Thee [cp. Mal 3:4], and Thy land shall be married.
I Peter 1:3-7 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in Heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Proverbs 3:35 The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
Again, the Word for the day--I Peter 5:4 And when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
07.08 Morning:
I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight.
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.―I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto Me; for I have redeemed thee.―Your sins are forgiven you for His Name's sake.―God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.―That He might be Just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean.―They shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy.
This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.
