God a Protector
2 Thessalonians 3:2
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.


Some years ago, a band of missionaries in the Fiji Islands found their home surrounded by a troop of savages armed for battle. Being both unable and unwilling to fight, they shut their door and began to pray. Presently the howling of the savages ceased. Then one of the missionaries went out, and found only one savage there. Said the missionary: "Where are your chiefs?" "They are gone. They heard you praying to your God; and they know yours is a strong God, and they are gone." The savages were right at last. God is a strong God; strong to help those who love Him — strong to punish His enemies.
