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 5:1-5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ: by Whom also we have access by faith into
this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only
so, but we glory
in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and
patience, experience; and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost
which is given unto us.
The Word for the month--
Romans 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
The Word for the day--
Isaiah 27:5
Or let him take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; and he shall make peace with Me.
Hear the entire chapter--
Isaiah 27
In that day the
Lord
with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the
piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay
the dragon that
is in the sea. In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. I the
Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest
any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. Fury
is not in me: who would set the briers
and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall
blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him?
or
is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him? In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he
stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. By this therefore
shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this
is
all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of
the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and
images shall not stand up. Yet the defenced city
shall be desolate,
and
the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the
calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches
thereof. When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken
off: the women come,
and set them on fire: for it
is
a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have
mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the
Lord
shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt,
and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. And it
shall come to pass in that day,
that
the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready
to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt,
and shall worship the
Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

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:
Revelation
1:5b,6 Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to
him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Romans 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
