DOES GOD HEAR?

Gainesville, Georgia:    "Tornado Alley!"    Terrific tornadoes have sometimes swept through there, leaving death and destruction.
One of the worst storms tore a mile-wide path, eight miles long, leaving 227 dead in a few minutes.

    During that storm, two small boys were in the care of a neighbor, Belle, while their parents were at work. At the sound of the tornado (it sounds like a freight train right overhead) Belle exclaimed, "I'm going to pray!" She dropped to her knees and began praying out loud.

    Eddie, the seven-year-old boy, said "Belle, don't you know God can't hear you above all that racket?"

    Belle only said, "Son, God hears everything" - and went right on praying.

    That minute the wind over their house stopped. They looked cautiously out. Their wooden garage was smashed, but the house and the two boys and Belle were all safe.

    Did God hear? Even above the shrieking wind and crashing timbers? Eddie knew that God had heard, and he remembered that moment all his life.

    Of course God heard. He promises that not one sparrow shall fall on the ground without Him and that the "very hairs of your head are all numbered." Nothing in His creation is too small for His notice.

    Nor is anything too large. He "formeth the mountains, and createth the wind." He asks, "Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son's name, if thou canst tell?"

    His Son's name - do you know it? It is JESUS, because He shall save His people from their sins. Yes, Jesus only is the Saviour. He says, "No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." But He also says that "Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."

    "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12)
