Evening devotional


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


11.03 Evening:

The everlasting Father.


Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.

I and my Father are One . . .The Father is in Me, and I in Him.―If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also.―Philip saith unto Him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father.―Behold I and the children which God hath given Me.―He shall see of the travail of His Soul, and shall be satisfied.―I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.―Before Abraham was, I am.―God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever.―He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.―In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Isa 9:6 De 6:4 Joh 10:30,38 8:19 14:8,9 Heb 2:13 Isa 53:11 Re 1:8 Joh 8:58 Ex 3:14 Heb 1:8 Col 1:17 2:9

be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
I Peter 5:11 To Him

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--
Psalm 27:13,14 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the Goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.


The Word for the day--
Psalm 73:23,24 Nevertheless I am continually with Thee: Thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.



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

11.03 Morning:


The ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.


Unto you . . . which believe He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, . . . and a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offence.―The Way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.―Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.―The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of Light.―If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God.―Whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance.

He that is of God heareth God's Words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.―Ye will not come to Me, that ye might have Life.―My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Ho 14:9 1Pe 2:7,8 Pr 10:29 Mt 11:15 Ps 107:43 Mt 6:22 Joh 7:17 Mt 13:12 Joh 8:47 5:40 10:27

(Hosea 14:9)Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.


(I Peter 2:7,8)Unto you therefore which believe He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the Stone which the builders disallowed, the Same is made the Head of the corner, and a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the Word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.--(Proverbs 10:29)The Way of the Lord is Strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

I Timothy 4:15,16 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.



Psalm 72:17-19 His Name shall endure for ever: His Name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed. Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be His Glorious Name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen, and Amen.

"until I went into the Sanctuary of God . . ."


Psalm 73
A Psalm of Asaph.


Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. They set their mouth against the Heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. Therefore His people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. 

If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of Thy children. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; until I went into the Sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. Surely Thou didst set them in slippery places: Thou castedst them down into destruction. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when Thou awakest, Thou shalt despise their image.

Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before Thee. Nevertheless I am continually with Thee: Thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in Heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside Thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the Strength of my heart, and my Portion for ever. For, lo, they that are far from Thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from Thee. But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all Thy works.
