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 25:1,2 Unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in Thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

08.24 Morning:
I know their sorrows.
A Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.―Touched with the feeling of our infirmities.
Himself took our infirmities, and bare
our sicknesses.―Jesus, . . . being wearied with
His journey, sat thus on the well.
When Jesus . . . saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, He groaned in the Spirit, and was troubled, . . . Jesus wept.―For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are tempted.
He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from Heaven did the
Lord behold the earth; to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death.―He knoweth the Way that I take:
when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.―When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then Thou knewest my path.
He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye.―In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His presence saved them: in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bare them, and carried them all the days of old.
