For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word,
that ye may grow thereby:
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(I Peter 1:24-2:3)
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 27:1 The Lord is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the Strength of my Life; of whom shall I be afraid?
The Word for the day--
II Timothy 1:8-10 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the Testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the Power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an Holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His Own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who hath abolished death, and hath brought Life and Immortality to Light through the gospel:
Here is the entire sentence--
II Timothy 1:8-11 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the Testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the Power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an Holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His Own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who hath abolished death, and hath brought Life and Immortality to Light through the gospel: whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

Again, the Word for the day--II Timothy 1:8-10 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
10.16 Morning:
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.―Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the Reward of the Inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.―Whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord.
I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is Day: the night cometh, when no man can work.―Wist ye not that I must be about My Father's business?―The zeal of Thine House hath eaten Me up.
Brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.―We desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of Hope unto the end: that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through Faith and patience inherit the promises.―So run, that ye may obtain.
