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 41:12
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
Here is the entire Psalm
Psalm 41
To the Chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
Blessed
is he that considereth the poor: the
Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The
Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive;
and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The
Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. I said,
Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish? And if he come to see
me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself;
when he goeth abroad, he telleth
it. All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. An evil disease,
say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and
now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up
his heel against me. But thou, O
Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me [cp. Acts 2:22-32]. And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever. Blessed
be the
Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
11.21 Morning:
Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.
It shall come to pass, when he crieth unto Me, that I will hear; for I
am gracious.―I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break My Covenant with them: for I
am the
Lord their God.―I will remember My Covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an Everlasting Covenant.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the
Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.―Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the
Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.―Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise.
A bruised reed shall He not break, and the smoking flax shall He not quench.
