06.21 Evening:

I sought Him, but I could not find Him; I called Him, but He gave me no answer.

O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! . . . And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? Israel hath sinned, . . . for they have even taken of the accursed thing, . . . and they have put it even among their own stuff.

Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His Face from you, that He will not hear.

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

So 5:6 Jos 7:8,10,11 Isa 59:1,2 Ps 66:18 1Jo 3:21,22

06.21 Evening:

(Song of Solomon 5:6)I opened to my Beloved; but my Beloved had withdrawn Himself, and was gone: my soul failed when He spake: I sought Him, but I could not find Him; I called Him, but He gave me no answer.

(Joshua 7:8)O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! . . . (Joshua 7:10,11)And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed My Covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.

(Isaiah 59:1,2)Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither His ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His Face from you, that He will not hear.

(Psalm 66:18)If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

(I John 3:21,22)Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

So 5:6 Jos 7:8,10,11 Isa 59:1,2 Ps 66:18 1Jo 3:21,22

Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
I Peter 5:11 To Him be glory and dominion for ever and 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 108:4 For Thy mercy is great above the heavens: and Thy Truth reacheth unto the clouds.


The Word for the day--
Ephesians 4:7-10 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the Gift of Christ. Wherefore He saith, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that He ascended, what is it but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things.)

06.21 Morning:

Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps.

Even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His Life a ransom for many.―Whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

Jesus of Nazareth . . . went about doing good.―Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the Law of Christ.

The meekness and gentleness of Christ.―In lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.―Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.―Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1Pe 2:21 Mr 10:45,44 Ac 10:38 Ga 6:2 2Co 10:1 Php 2:3 Lu 23:34 Eph 4:32 1Jo 2:6 Heb 12:2
