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

  Morning, February 28 Go To Evening Reading “My expectation is from him.” —Psalm 62:5 It is the believer’s privilege to use this language.

They had little time to rest before they heard, “Away! this is not your rest; you must still be onward journeying towards Canaan!” They were never long in one place. Even wells and palm trees could not detain them. Yet they had an abiding home in their God; his cloudy pillar was their roof-tree, and its flame by night their household fire. They must go from place to place, continually changing, never settling, and  having time to say, “Now we are secure; in this place, we s
