A YOUNG Christian girl in a very wealthy family was sick and had to stay in bed for many days. She seldom had anyone in the room with her at night. On one occasion she lay awake about midnight, the family were all asleep, and the house was very still. Suddenly the door of her room opened and a man walked softly in. He came towards her bed and then stopped a moment. Her little night lamp was shining on them both from the stand by her bedside. She did not scream or cry. The robber looked at this beautiful girl as she gazed on him with perfect calmness.
Lifting her finger and pointing solemnly towards heaven she said, “Do you know that God sees you?” The man waited a moment but made no reply. Then he turned, walked quietly away and disappeared.
The power of evil was there, but God’s Hand was there too. What a blessed thing it is too, to take hold of that Hand as that young lady did and feel the power of Jesus there to protect her. He who had power to raise Himself from the dead is present every moment of the day to comfort and protect His people.
