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 17:15 As for me, I will behold Thy Face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness.
The Word for the day--
Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the Righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"as it is written, The just shall live by faith"
Habakkuk 2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ,
even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law: for by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the Life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
Again, the Word for the day--Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the Righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
01.29 Morning:
Thou God seest me.
O Lord, Thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a Word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, Thou knowest it altogether. . . . Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is High, I cannot attain unto it.
The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.--The ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his goings.--God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.--For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him.
Jesus . . .knew all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for He knew what was in man.--Lord, Thou knowest all things; Thou knowest that I love.
Ge 16:13 Ps 139:1-4,6 Pr 15:3 Pr 5:21 Lu 16:15 2Ch 16:9 Joh 2:24,25 21:17
