DAILY, WEEKEND, AND HOLIDAY INTERNET EVANGELIZE TO THE WORLD MINISTRY

  Morning, October 7 Go To Evening Reading “Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant?” —Numbers 11:11 Our heavenly Father sends us frequent troubles to try our faith . If our faith is worth anything, it will stand the test. Gilt is afraid of fire, but gold is not: the paste gem dreads to be touched by the diamond, but the true jewel fears no test.
