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 27:1 The Lord is my Light and my Salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the Strength of my Life; of whom shall I be afraid?
The Word for the day--
II Samuel 22:32,33
For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a Rock, save our God? God is my Strength and Power: and He maketh my Way perfect.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"who is a Rock, save our God?"
I Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same Spiritual drink: for they drank of
that Spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
Psalm 62:2
He only is my Rock and my Salvation;
He is my Defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
Psalm 62:7 In God
is my Salvation and my Glory:
the Rock of my Strength, and my Refuge, is in God.
Psalm 105:41
He opened the Rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places
like a River.
John 19:34 But
one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
"He maketh my Way perfect."
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.
Hebrews 2:10 For it became Him, for Whom
are all things, and by Whom
are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory,
to make the Captain of their Salvation perfect through sufferings.
I Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, Who hath called us unto His Eternal Glory by Christ Jesus,
after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle
you.
Again, the Word for the day--II Samuel 22:32,33
For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a Rock, save our God? God is my Strength and Power: and He maketh my Way perfect.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
10.08 Morning:
I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? . . . Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear Him, which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear Him.
Blessed
are they which are persecuted for Righteousness' sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are ye, when
men shall revile you, and persecute
you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great
is your Reward in Heaven.―None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy.―I will speak of Thy Testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
Heb 13:6 Ro 8:35,37 Lu 12:4,5 Mt 5:10-12 Ac 20:24 Ps 119:46
