Evening devotional


Hear this evening's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]


06.17 Evening:

All Thy works shall praise Thee, O Lord; and Thy saints shall bless Thee.


Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.―I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.―Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy Name for ever and ever.

Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee. Thus will I bless Thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in Thy Name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise Thee with joyful lips.

My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.

Ps 145:10 103:1,2 34:1 145:2 63:3-5 Lu 1:46,47 Re 4:11

"I will extol Thee, my God, O King"



Psalm 145
David's Psalm of praise.


I will extol Thee, my God, O King; and I will bless Thy Name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless Thee; and I will praise Thy Name for ever and ever. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise Thy works to another, and shall declare Thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honour of Thy majesty, and of Thy wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of Thy terrible acts: and I will declare Thy greatness. They shall abundantly utter the memory of Thy great goodness, and shall sing of Thy Righteousness. The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all: and His tender mercies are over all His works.

All Thy works shall praise Thee, O Lord; and Thy saints shall bless Thee. They shall speak of the glory of Thy Kingdom, and talk of Thy power; to make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His Kingdom. Thy Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, and Thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. The eyes of all wait upon Thee; and Thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest Thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every Living thing. The Lord is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him: He also will hear their cry, and will save them. The Lord preserveth all them that love Him: but all the wicked will He destroy. My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless His Holy Name for ever and ever.

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 108:4 For Thy mercy is great above the heavens: and Thy Truth reacheth unto the clouds.


The Word for the day--
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to Heaven, but He that came down from Heaven, even the Son of man which is in Heaven.


Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--

"And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from Heaven, even the Son of man which is in Heaven."

Psalm 73:25 Whom have I in Heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee.

Again, the Word for the day--John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to Heaven, but He that came down from Heaven, even the Son of man which is in Heaven.

06.17 Morning:

In every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.


I love the Lord, because He hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because He hath inclined His ear unto me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.―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.

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.―Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in Heaven.

Php 4:6 Ps 116:1,2 Mt 6:7 Ro 8:26 1Ti 2:8 Eph 6:18 Mt 18:19
