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--
I John 3:1-3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon
us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world
knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of
God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that,
when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He
is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as
He is pure.
The Word for the day--
Revelation 21:6,7
And
He said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the
Water of Life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I
will be his God, and he shall be My son.
Hear the entire chapter--
Revelation 21
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the
first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw
the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice
out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God
is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them,
and be
their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there
be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that
sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said
unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
And
he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the
water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I
will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the
lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials
full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come
hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me
away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that
great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
having the glory of God: and her light
was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; and had a wall great and high,
and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are
the names
of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: on the east three
gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the
west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and
in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked
with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof,
and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is
as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve
thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are
equal. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred
and forty
and four cubits,
according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. And the building of the wall of it was
of jasper: and the city
was pure gold, like unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city
were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation
was
jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an
emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,
chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a
chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the
twelve gates
were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city
was
pure gold, as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple therein:
for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the
city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for
the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb
is
the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk
in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and
honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for
there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and
honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it
any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination, or
maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Corinthians 15:3,4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I
also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures:
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.
