Streams in the Desert by Mrs Cowman April 23nd “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me” (Ps. 138:7). The Hebrew rendering of the above is “go on in the center of trouble.” What descriptive words! We have called on God in the day of trouble; we have pleaded His promise of…

Streams in the Desert by Mrs Cowman April 22nd He knoweth the way that I take (Job 23:10). Believer! What a glorious assurance!
