Tommy was just three years old during the terrible bombings in World War II. One night he was awakened by loud explosions and knew the enemy planes were overhead and that an air raid was on. He began to cry.
His father rushed into the room. It was all dark but no lights were allowed to be turned on. The little fellow could not see his father but he felt his presence and heard his voice.
It’s all right, Daddy!” he said. “You’re here, and I am not afraid!”
How this reminds us of the words of David in the 23rd Psalm: “I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me.”
