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 2:25 And this is the promise that He hath promised us,
even Eternal Life.
The Word for the day--
II Corinthians 1:19,20
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in Him was yea. For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

II Corinthians 1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy
our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia: Grace
be to you and peace from God our Father, and
from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed
be
God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies,
and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation,
that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the
comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the
sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by
Christ. And whether we be afflicted,
it is
for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring
of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted,
it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope of you
is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so
shall ye be
also of the consolation. For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant
of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of
measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: but we
had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in
ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: who delivered us from so
great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet
deliver
us; ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift
bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in
simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the
grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more
abundantly to you-ward. For we write none other things unto you, than
what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to
the end; as also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your
rejoicing, even as ye also
are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye
might have a second benefit; and to pass by you into Macedonia, and to
come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way
toward Judaea. When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness?
or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that
with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay? But
as God
is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us,
is
God; who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in
our hearts. Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare
you I came not as yet unto Corinth. Not for that we have dominion over
your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.

I
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.
