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--
I Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive
and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
The Word for the month--
Psalm 96:11-13 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that
is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the
Lord: for He cometh, for He cometh to judge the earth: He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with His truth.
The Word for the day--
Psalm 94:14,15
For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Hear the entire chapter--
Psalm 94
O
Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
How long shall they utter
and speak hard things?
and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? They break in pieces thy people, O
Lord, and afflict thine heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. Yet they say, The
Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard
it. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and
ye fools, when will ye be wise? He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge,
shall not he know? The
Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they
are vanity.
Blessed
is the man whom thou chastenest, O
Lord, and teachest him out of thy law; That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Unless the
Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O
Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. But the
Lord is my defence; and my God
is the rock of my refuge. And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness;
yea, the
Lord our God shall cut them off.
-- Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. I Peter 5:11 To Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
