Streams in the Desert

Streams in the Desert Compiled by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman (Cowman Publications, Inc.; Zondervan Publishing House, 1925).


"We fail many times to receive the blessing He has ready for us, because we do not go forward with Him. While we miss much good through not waiting for God, we also miss much through over-waiting. There are times when our strength is to sit still, but there are also times when we are to go forward with a firm step." (p. 29, J.R. Miller)

This year, 2012, I am revisiting a devotional book I discovered in college. This seemed to be the right year to reread the compilation of great and deep thoughts, comments, songs, poems, Bible verses, and more.

Although much of the text is old King James wording, the truths and illustrations ring loud and clear. Numerous dog-ears already fill the first month of devotions. Sigh. My poor books!

Needing insight and inspiration? Several editions of Streams in the Desert are available. But I'd just go ahead and start with the first one.

May inspiring reading abound to you.
