Afraid of God

Listen from:
Some years ago, a band of missionaries in the Fiji Islands found their home surrounded by a troop of savages armed for battle. Being both unable and unwilling-to fight, they shut their door, and began to pray.
Presently the howling of the savages ceased. Then one of the missionaries went out and found only one savage there. Said the missionary: “Where are your chiefs?”
“They are gone. They heard you praying to your God; and they know your God is a strong God; and they are gone.”
The savages were right at last, God is a strong God; strong to. help those who love Him; strong to punish His enemies. This strong God is the loving Friend of little children. What good news this is for the weak and helpless! (2 Sam. 22:2,32And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; 3The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. (2 Samuel 22:2‑3)).
