Christian Herald Psalm 91:12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.… A little boy asked his mother to let him lead his little sister out on the green grass. She had just begun to run alone, and could not step over anything that lay in the way. His mother told him he might lead out the little girl, but charged him not to let her fall. I found them at play, very happy in the field. I said, "You seem very happy, George? Is this your sister?" "Yes, sir." "Can she walk alone?" "Yes, sir, on smooth ground." "And how did she get over these stones which lie between us and the house?" "Oh, sir, mother charged me to be careful that she did not fall, and so I put my hands under her arms, and lifted her up when she came to a stone, so that she need not hit her little foot against it." "That is right, George. And I want to tell you one thing. You now see how to understand that beautiful text, ' He shall give His angels charge concerning thee, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.' God charges His angels to lead and lift good people over difficulties, just as you have lifted little Ann over these stones. Do you understand it now?" "Oh, yes, sir, and I never shall forget it while I live." Can one child thus take care of another, and cannot God take care of those who put their trust in Him? Surely He can; and there is not a child among you here to-day, over whom He is not ready to give His holy angels charge. (Christian Herald.)
