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--
Titus 3:4-7 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour
toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done,
but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which He shed on us abundantly through
Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by His grace, we should
be made heirs according to the hope of Eternal Life.
The Word for the month--
II John 1:3 Grace be with you, mercy,
and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
The Word for the day--
Isaiah 26:12
Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for Thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
Hear the entire chapter--
Isaiah 26
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will
God appoint
for walls and bulwarks. Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep
him in perfect peace,
whose mind
is stayed
on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the
Lord for ever: for in the
Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low,
even to the ground; he bringeth it
even to the dust. The foot shall tread it down,
even the feet of the poor,
and the steps of the needy. The way of the just
is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O
Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of
our soul
is
to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. With my soul have I
desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek
thee early: for when thy judgments
are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Let favour be shewed to the wicked,
yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the
Lord.
Lord,
when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see:
but they shall see, and be ashamed for
their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. O
Lord our God,
other lords beside thee have had dominion over us:
but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
They are dead, they shall not live;
they are
deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and
destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. Thou hast increased
the nation, O
Lord, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed
it far
unto all the ends of the earth.
Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer
when thy chastening
was upon them. Like as a woman with child,
that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain,
and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O
Lord.
We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were
brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth;
neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. Thy dead
men shall live,
together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew
is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about
thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation
be overpast. For, behold, the
Lord
cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for
their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no
more cover her slain.
