Jesus Will Answer

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.  Psalm 91:11

 

Once a poor Chinese woman went up to the foothills to cut grass. Her baby was tied to her back, and a little child walked beside her.

Just as she reached the top of a hill, she heard a roar. Frightened, she turned and saw a mother tigress springing at her, followed by her two cubs.

The illiterate Chinese woman had never attended school or church, but a missionary once told her about Jesus, "who is able to help you when you are in trouble." As the tiger's claws tore into her arm the woman cried out, "O Jesus, help me!" The tiger, instead of attacking again, suddenly turned and ran away.

What "beasts" are attacking you? Chances are you will never be attacked by a wild tiger, but you will be attacked by doubts, fears, worry, loneliness, or despair.

Cry out to Jesus and He will answer you just as surely as He heard and answered the Chinese woman's desperate cry.
