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
The Word for the month--
Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
The Word for the day--
John 10:14,15
I am the good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine. As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My Life for the sheep.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"I am the good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine."
John 10:27-30 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: and I give unto them eternal Life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. I and my Father are One.
I John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments....I John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true, and we are in Him that is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and Eternal Life.
"As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father"
John 14:10,11 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works' sake.
"and I lay down My Life for the sheep."
Isaiah 53:10-12 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall My Righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He hath poured out His soul unto death: and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Colossians 3:4 When Christ, Who is our Life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.
John 17:3 And this is Life Eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting life.
Again, the Word for the day--John 10:14,15
I am the good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine. As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My Life for the sheep.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
07.07 Morning:
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
In the days of his flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared; though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; and being made perfect, He became the Author of Eternal Salvation unto all them that obey Him.―We have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as
we are, yet without sin.
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God
is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a Way to escape, that ye may be able to bear
it.―My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness.
