Christian girl who had been ill for some time lay awake in her bed while the rest of the family slept.
About midnight, her door opened and a strange man entered. He was a robber. Her little lamp shone on both of them. The girl looked at the robber. The robber stared at the girl, evidently surprised to find her awake and yet perfectly calm in the face of imminent danger.
She did not cry or scream, but simply raised her hand and with her finger pointing upward said: "Man, do you know that God is looking at you?" Without a word, the robber turned and fled.
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it and is safe." Prov. 18:1010The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. (Proverbs 18:10).
