03.12 Evening:

Things that are pleasing in His sight.

Without Faith it is impossible to please Him.--So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.--The Lord taketh pleasure in His people.

This is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. . . .If, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.--The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, . . . is in the sight of God of great price.

Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.--I will praise the Name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

I beseech you, . . .brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

03.12 Evening:

(I John 3:22)And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

(Hebrews 11:6)But without Faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.--(Romans 8:8)So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.--(Psalm 149:4)For the Lord taketh pleasure in His people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.

(I Peter 2:19,20)For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.--(I Peter 3:4)But let it be the hidden Man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet Spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

(Psalm 50:23)Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.--(Psalm 69:30,31)I will praise the Name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

(Romans 12:1)I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

1Jo 3:22 Heb 11:6 Ro 8:8 Ps 149:4 1Pe 2:19,20 3:4 Ps 50:23 69:30,31 Ro 12:1

Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

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 18:3 I will call upon the Lord, Who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.


The Word for the day--
Hebrews 13:14,15 For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His Name.

03.12 Morning:

The Lord make His Face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

No man hath seen God at any time; the only Begotten Son, Which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him.--The brightness of His glory, and the express Image of His person.--The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the Light of the glorious gospel of Christ, Who is the Image of God, should shine unto them.

Make Thy Face to shine upon Thy Servant: save me for Thy mercies' sake. Let Me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon Thee.--Lord, by Thy favour Thou hast made My Mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide Thy Face, and I was troubled.--Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the Light of Thy countenance.

The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

(Psalm 31:16,17)Make Thy Face to shine upon Thy Servant: save Me for Thy mercies' sake.
