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. If he is looking for aught from the world, it is a poor “expectation” indeed.

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.
