SOME years ago a young woman who knew Jesus as her Saviour, had gone to live for a time in a small town many miles from her home.
She had been only a few days in her new home and was not yet very familiar with the house, when one evening after dark she opened the wrong door. Supposing she was stepping into the hall, she fell to the cellar floor. But the Lord’s care was over her and she was not injured by the fall. Dear children, do you ever think how many dangers, both seen and unseen, surround you? Often you do not know what accidents you narrowly escape. But there is One who never “slumbers nor sleeps.” Can my little readers tell me who this is? I think I hear a little voice saying, “God.” Yee, dear children, that is right. God is always watching. There is never a danger that He does not see. And I hope you do not forget to thank God for taking such good care of you, day after day.
