07.19 Evening:

The dew of Hermon.

Mount Sion, which is Hermon.―There the Lord commanded the blessing, even Life for evermore.―I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass.―As the rain cometh down, and the snow from Heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto Him.―And of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.―It is like the precious ointment upon the head, . . . even Aaron's . . . that went down to the skirts of his garments.

Ps 133:3 De 4:48 Ps 133:3 Ho 14:5 De 32:2 Isa 55:10,11 Joh 3:34 1:16 Ps 133:2

Here it is again with the full verses and references

07.19 Evening:

(Psalm 133:3)As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even Life for evermore.

(Deuteronomy 4:48)From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,--(Psalm 133:3)As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even Life for evermore.--(Hosea 14:5)I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

(Deuteronomy 32:2)My doctrine shall drop as the rain, My speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:--(Isaiah 55:10,11)For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from Heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so shall My Word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

(John 3:34)For He Whom God hath sent speaketh the Words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto Him. --(John 1:16)And of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.--(Psalm 133:2)It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

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.

Psalm 45

To the Chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.

My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the King: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into Thy lips: therefore God hath blessed Thee for ever. Gird Thy sword upon Thy thigh, O most mighty, with Thy glory and Thy majesty. And in Thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and Thy right hand shall teach Thee terrible things. Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; whereby the people fall under Thee.

Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of Thy Kingdom is a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. All Thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made Thee glad. Kings' daughters were among Thy honourable women: upon Thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; so shall the King greatly desire thy beauty: for He is thy Lord; and worship thou Him. And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto Thee. With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the King's palace. Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. I will make Thy Name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise Thee for ever and ever.

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 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.


The Word for the day--
John 10:2,3 But He that entereth in by the door is the Shepherd of the sheep. To Him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His Voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

Here is some immediate context--

John 9:39--10:18 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with Him heard these Words, and said unto Him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the Door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But He that entereth in by the door is the Shepherd of the sheep. To Him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His Voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him: for they know His Voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which He spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the Door of the sheep. All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the Door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have Life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good Shepherd: the good Shepherd giveth His Life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the Shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 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. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My Voice; and there shall be One fold, and One Shepherd. Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My Life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have Power to lay it down, and I have Power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father.



Again, the Word for the day--John 10:2,3 But He that entereth in by the door is the Shepherd of the sheep. To Him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear His Voice: and He calleth His own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

07.19 Morning:

He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is His Name.

Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like Thee, glorious in Holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?―Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto Thy works.―Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy Name? for Thou only art Holy.―Hallowed be Thy Name.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for He hath visited and redeemed His people.

Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in His apparel, travelling in the greatness of His strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.―I have laid help upon One that is mighty; I have exalted One chosen out of the people.

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, . . . be glory.

Lu 1:49 Ex 15:11 Ps 86:8 Re 15:4 Mt 6:9 Lu 1:68 Isa 63:1 Ps 89:19 Eph 3:20,21
