One night
a big, hungry tiger caught a woman in the woods by her house. He threw her
down to the ground and was going to have a feast. She could feel his hot
breath in her face. |
|
Something
seemed to tell her to sing. She began to sing hymns, as she was lying under
the strong body of the great beast. This seemed to charm him. He did not go
away, but he did not hurt her. He just stood over her and listened. But she did
not dare to stop singing, or he might have eaten her up. She kept on singing
till her husband returned home in the morning, for he had been off to work,
and shot the fierce animal. |
|
This woman
believed her life had been saved because she sang praises to the Lord Jesus.
She obeyed His voice when she felt that He told her to sing, and He caused
the songs to save her life. How sweetly the Lord takes care of His children
when they trust and obey Him. |
