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 107:5,6
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.
Compare Spiritual with Spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:12-14; John 5:39)--
"Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses."
Psalm 119:81
My soul fainteth for Thy salvation:
but I hope in Thy Word.
Matthew 5:6 Blessed
are they which do
hunger and thirst after Righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Psalm 107:5-9 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the
Lord in their trouble,
and He delivered them out of their distresses. And
He led them forth by the Right Way [cp. Jn 10:3,4; Jn 14;6]
, that they might go to a City of Habitation [cp. Eph 2:22; Rev 21:2]. Oh that
men would praise the
Lord for His goodness, and
for His wonderful works to the children of men! For
He satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
Galatians 1:4,5 Who gave Himself for our sins,
that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: to Whom
be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Colossians 1:13
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated
us into the Kingdom of His dear Son:
I Thessalonians 1:10 And to wait for His Son from Heaven, Whom He raised from the dead,
even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
II Corinthians 1:10
Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in Whom we trust that He will yet deliver us;
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.
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.
Again, the Word for the day--Psalm 107:5,6
Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distresses.
Hear this morning's devotional [Prepared by Jonathan Bagster (1813-1872)]
11.30 Morning:
Now the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
Peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come.―The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace
be unto you.―Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
The Comforter . . .
even the Spirit of truth.―The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace.―The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
My presence shall go
with thee, and I will give thee rest. And he said unto Him, If Thy presence go not
with me, carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and Thy people have found grace in Thy sight?
is it not in that Thou goest with us?
