"Jesus feels for thee;
Jesus consoles thee;
Jesus will help thee.
No monarch in his impregnable fortress
is more secure than the cony in his rocky burrow.
The Master of ten thousand chariots is not one whit better protected
than the little dweller in the mountain's cleft.
In Jesus the weak are strong, and the defenceless safe;
they could not be more strong if they were giants,
or more safe if they were in heaven.
Faith gives to men on earth the protection of the God of heaven.
More they cannot need, and need not wish.
The conies cannot build a castle,
but they avail themselves of what is there already:
I cannot make myself a refuge,
but Jesus has provided it,
His Father has given it,
His Spirit has revealed it,
and lo, again tonight I enter it,
and am safe from every foe."

Merry Christmas to you and yours. I sure do love our Lord Jesus!
These words by Chas. Haddon Spurgeon made me think of my favorite hymn..'His eye is on the sparrow, & I know He watches me!'
(& You!).
Hope you're having a lovely Christmas!
