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 107:8,9 Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.The Word for the day--
Exodus 15:13
Thou in Thy mercy hast led forth the people which Thou hast redeemed: Thou hast guided them in Thy Strength unto Thy Holy habitation.Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--"Thou in Thy mercy hast led forth the people which Thou hast redeemed: Thou hast guided them in Thy Strength unto Thy Holy habitation."Isaiah 49:8-11 Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard Thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped Thee: and I will preserve Thee, and give Thee for a Covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; that Thou mayest say to the prisoners [cp.Lu 4:18,19], Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for He that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of Water shall He guide them. And I will make all My mountains a way, and My highways shall be exalted.Titus 3:4-7 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of Eternal Life.John 16:13-15 Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all Truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify Me: for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.II Corinthians 12:9 And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am [cp.Jn 1:18], there ye may be also....John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me....
John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.
Again, the Word for the day--Exodus 15:13
Thou in Thy mercy hast led forth the people which Thou hast redeemed: Thou hast guided them in Thy Strength unto Thy Holy habitation.Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]05.22 Morning:
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.The world passeth away, and the lust thereof.―Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up
riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.―What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things
is death.
Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.―I would have you without carefulness.
These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.―The Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means.―The
Lord bless thee, and keep thee: 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.
