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 27:13,14 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the Goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
The Word for the day--
Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"all ye that hope in the Lord."
I John 3:1-3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 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.
I Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our Hope;
Psalm 119:81 My soul fainteth for Thy Salvation: I hope in Thy Word.
Psalm 130:5 I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in His Word do I hope.
Colossians 1:5 For the Hope which is laid up for you in Heaven, whereof ye heard before in the Word of the Truth of the Gospel;
Romans 8:24,25 For we are saved by Hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Lamentations 3:24-26 The Lord is my Portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in Him. The Lord is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
I John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.
I Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Again, the Word for the day--Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
11.22 Morning:
God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.―We ... have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt.
The Spirit . . . helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the Mind of the Spirit, because He maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.―This is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us.―When He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all Truth.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication.
Jude 1:20 Joh 4:24 Eph 2:18 Mt 26:39 Ro 8:26,27 1Jo 5:14 Joh 16:13 Eph 6:18
