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 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--
Proverbs 3:5,6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.



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

08.15 Morning:

The God of peace, . . . make you perfect in every good work to do His will.

Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

By grace are ye saved through Faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the Gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.―Every good gift and every perfect gift is from Above, and cometh down from the Father of Lights, with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.―Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.―Being filled with the fruits of Righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.
