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 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
The Word for the day--
Hebrews 13:20,21 Now
the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that
great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting
Covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in
you that which is wellpleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to
Whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Hear the entire chapter--
Hebrews 13
Let
brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for
thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in
bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be
content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never
leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Remember
them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of
God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their
conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for
ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is
a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats,
which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. We have an
altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the
sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own
blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him
without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing
city, but we seek one to come. By him therefore let us offer the
sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our
lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate
forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey them that
have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your
souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and
not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus,
that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting
covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in
you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to
whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. Know ye that our
brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I
will see you. Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the
saints. They of Italy salute you. Grace be with you all. Amen.
