LITTLE JOHN had listened attentively one day while his mother told him the story about Daniel. He heard of how Daniel had been thrown into the den of lions, and of how God had shut the mouths of those great fierce animals so that they did not bite him.
That evening when little John knelt by his mother’s knee to say his simple prayers, he thought of his father who was absent and he asked God to bless him. Then he added, “and don’t let anything bite Daddy.”
No doubt he thought that God who had kept Daniel from harm could take care of his daddy too. And he was quite right.
How many of our little readers let their thoughts turn to God? How many of you ask Him to keep you, and those you love, from harm and from sin? Do not forget, God hears our cries, and He helps those who trust in Him.
