A Christian girl who had been sick for some time was lying awake in her bed one night when the rest of the family were asleep. About midnight the door of her room opened and a robber came in. Her little lamp shone on both of them. The girl looked at the robber and the robber stared at the girl, evidently surprised to find her awake and yet perfectly calm in the face of such danger.
She did not cry or scream, but as he stood looking at her, she simply raised her hand, with her finger pointing toward heaven, and said,
“Man, do you know that God is looking at you?”
The rover waited a moment longer, then without saying a word, quietly turned and went out of the house.
God was the shield of that dear sick girl and we see how perfectly safe she was under His protection.
