09.11 Evening:

Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground.―We commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.―Study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.―The night cometh, when no man can work.

Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.―Always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

There remaineth . . . a rest to the people of God.―Unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.―This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

Ps 104:23 Ge 3:19 2Th 3:10 1Th 4:11 Ec 9:10 Joh 9:4 Ga 6:9 1Co 15:58 Heb 4:9 Mt 20:12 Isa 28:12

The LORD is gracious

For all flesh is as grass,
and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.
And this is the Word which by the Gospel is preached unto you.
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, as newborn babes,
desire the sincere milk of the Word,
that ye may grow thereby:
if so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
(I Peter 1:24-2:3)

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--

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

09.11 Morning:

Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil.

Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? and what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? and what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?―Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. . . . The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

In time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.―Ye have not so learned Christ; if so be that ye have heard Him, . . . as the truth is in Jesus.

Ro 12:2 Ex 23:2 Jas 4:4 2Co 6:14-16 1Jo 2:15,17 Eph 2:2 4:20,21

(II Corinthians 6:14-16)Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the Living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.--(I John 2:15)Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
