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--
Psalm 25:8,9 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will He teach sinners in the Way. The meek will He guide in Judgment: and the meek will He teach His Way.
The Word for the day--
Proverbs 4:10,11
Hear, O My Son, and receive My sayings; and the years of Thy Life shall be many. I have taught Thee in the Way of Wisdom; I have led Thee in Right paths.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--

John 5:39 Search
the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have Eternal Life: and

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am
He, and
that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things.
II Timothy 3:15-17 And that from a child thou hast known
the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto Salvation through Faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Psalm 25:8,9 Good and upright
is the
Lord: therefore
will He teach sinners in the Way. The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will
He teach His Way.
John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And
they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me.
I Corinthians 1:30,31 But
of Him are ye in
Christ Jesus, Who of God is made unto us Wisdom, and Righteousness, and Sanctification, and Redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
Again, the Word for the day--Proverbs 4:10,11
Hear, O My Son, and receive My sayings; and the years of Thy Life shall be many. I have taught Thee in the Way of Wisdom; I have led thee in Right paths.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
09.28 Morning:
They shall put My Name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
O
Lord our God,
other lords beside Thee have had dominion over us:
but by Thee only will we make mention of Thy Name.―We are
Thine: Thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by Thy Name.
All people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the Name of the
Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.―The
Lord will not forsake His people for His Great Name's sake: because it hath pleased the
Lord to make you His people.
O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for Thine Own sake, O my God: for Thy City and Thy people are called by Thy Name.―Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Thy Name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for Thy Name's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where
is their God?
The Name of the
Lord is a Strong Tower: the Righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
