THE little girl in our picture today looks very happy and contented in the arms of her older brother and sister. She does not seem to be in the least afraid that they will let her drop. The picture brings to mind a verse in the Bible which says,
Do you know what a refuge is? It is a place of safety—a place where nothing can harm one. Our houses are a refuge from the cold and storms of winter.
Many people have a cave in their yard to use for a refuge from cyclones, or terrible wind storms.
Our verse says that “The Eternal God is thy refuge.” Do you know from what He is our refuge? I think I hear some little one say,
“From sin and from Satan.”
Yes, that is right. If the everlasting arms are underneath us, we need have no fear of anything evil, and if once we are in those arms, they will never, never let us drop.
