In World War II, Nazi Germany

launched a series of air raids

against the city of London. During

those bombings the residents of

London would evacuate their homes

and businesses and take cover in

designated underground shelters.

On one particular night of

bombings, a woman was missing

from her neighborhood shelter. A

few days later some of her neighbors

saw her and asked if everything

were all right.

“Everything’s fine,” she replied.

“Then why weren’t you in the

shelter the other night?” they asked.

“It’s smelly down there,” she

said, “and I don’t like it.”

“Aren’t you afraid the bombs

will get you?” her friends asked.

“Oh, no,” she said confidently.

“I read the scripture where it says

my God neither slumbers nor

sleeps. So I decided there was no

use in us both being awake. I just

prayed, ‘Lord, I praise You, I thank

You and I place myself in Your

love—and I’m not going to that

shelter anymore.’”

Now there was a believer with a

revelation of God’s love that allowed

her to overcome fear and roll the

care of her well-being over on God.

As it turned out, just a few days

later, enemy aircraft came through

and bombed that neighborhood,

leveling every house. Every house,

that is, except the woman’s who

had chosen to remain in the

comfort of her home…and in the

comfort of God’s love.
