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

  Morning, April 29 Go To Evening Reading “Thou art my hope in the day of evil.” —Jeremiah 17:17 The path of the Christian is not always bright with sunshine; he has his seasons of darkness and of storm. Accurate, it is written in God’s Word, “Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.” It is an excellent truth that religion is calculated to give a man happiness below as well as bliss above. Still, experience tells us that if the course of the just is “As the shining light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day,” yet sometimes that light is eclipsed. At specific periods, clouds cover the believer’s sun, and he walks in darkness and sees no light. Many have rejoiced in the presence of God for a season; they have basked in the sunshine in the earlier stages of their Christian career; they have walked along the “green pastures” by the side of the “still waters,” but suddenly they find the glorious sky is clouded; instead of the Land of Goshen they hav

  April 28 Lesson 9 (KJV) Faith of a Canaanite Devotional Reading: Psalm 61 Background Scripture: Matthew 15:21–28 Matthew 15:21–28 21 Then Jesus went thence and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her, not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not a good idea to take the children’s bread and to cast it on dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter wa
