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--
John 10:2,3 But He that entereth in by the door is the Shepherd of the sheep. To Him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His Voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
Here is some immediate context--
John 9:39--10:18 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with Him heard these Words, and said unto Him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the Door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But He that entereth in by the door is the Shepherd of the sheep. To Him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His Voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him: for they know His Voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which He spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the Door of the sheep. All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have Life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd giveth His Life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the Shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine. As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My Life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My Voice; and there shall be One fold, and One Shepherd. Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My Life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have Power to lay it down, and I have Power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father.
Again, the Word for the day--John 10:2,3 But He that entereth in by the door is the Shepherd of the sheep. To Him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His Voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
07.19 Morning:
Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in Holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?―Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto Thy works.―Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy Name? for Thou only art Holy.―Hallowed be Thy Name.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed His people.
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in His apparel, travelling in the greatness of His strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.―I have laid help upon One that is mighty; I have exalted One chosen out of the people.
Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, . . . be glory.
Lu 1:49 Ex 15:11 Ps 86:8 Re 15:4 Mt 6:9 Lu 1:68 Isa 63:1 Ps 89:19 Eph 3:20,21
