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 25:1,2 Unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in Thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
The Word for the day--
Isaiah 40:25,26 To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One [cp Acts 2:27;3:14]. Lift up your eyes on High, and behold Who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One [cp. Acts 2:27;3:14]."
Isaiah 46:3-13
Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by Me from the belly, which are carried from the womb: and even to your old age I am He; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
To whom will ye liken Me, and make Me equal, and compare Me, that we may be like? They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble. Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure: calling a ravenous bird from the east, the Man that executeth My counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
Hearken unto Me, ye stouthearted, that are far from Righteousness: I bring near My Righteousness; it shall not be far off, and My Salvation shall not tarry: and I will place Salvation in Zion for Israel My glory.
Psalm 73:25,26 Whom have I in Heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my Portion for ever.
"Lift up your eyes on High,
Psalm 123:1. Unto Thee lift I up mine eyes, O Thou that dwellest in the heavens.
"behold Who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might for that He is strong in power; not one faileth."
Psalm 100:3 Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

Psalm 147:4-6 He telleth the number of the stars [cp. Dan 12:3; Jude 11-13]; He calleth them all by their names [Jn 10:2,3] Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite. The Lord lifteth up the meek: He casteth the wicked down to the ground.
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.
Psalm 29:4 The Voice of the Lord is powerful; the Voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
I Samuel 30:19 And there was nothing lacking ["faileth" Isa 40:26]to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the Book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for My mouth it hath commanded, and His Spirit it hath gathered them.
Jude 1:24,25 Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Again, the Word for the day--Isaiah 40:25,26 To whom then will ye liken Me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One [cp. Acts 2:27;3:14]. Lift up your eyes on High, and behold Who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
08.06 Morning:
See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with Me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand.―I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.―My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord.
I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.―As a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth Thee.―Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of Righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.―Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.
I know, O Lord, that Thy judgments are right, and that Thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
Pr 3:12 De 32:39 Jer 29:11 Isa 55:8 Ho 2:14 De 8:5 Heb 12:11 1Pe 5:6 Ps 119:75
