Snug As A Bug In A Rug! Read: Psalm 91:9-16 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 Bible in a Year: Hosea 9-11; Revelation 3 When I was a , my family lived in a house my father built in the cedar breaks west of Duncanville, Texas. Our house had a small kitchen-dinette area, two bedrooms, and a great room with a large stone fireplace in which we burned 2-foot-long cedar logs. That fireplace was the center of warmth in our home. There were five people in our family: my father and mother, my sister, my cousin, and me. Since we had only two bedrooms, I slept year-round on a porch with canvas screens that rolled down to the floor. Summers were delightful; winters were cold. I remember dashing from the warmth of the living room onto the porch, tiptoeing across the frost-covered plank floor in my bare feet, leaping into bed and burrowing under a great mountain of blankets. Then, when hail, sleet, or snow lashed our house and the wind howled through the eaves like a pack of wolves, I snuggled down in sheltered rest. Snug as a bug in a rug, my mother used to say. I doubt that any ever felt so warm and secure. Now I know the greatest security of all: God Himself. I can lie down in peace, and sleep Ps. 4.8, knowing that He is my shelter from the stinging storms of life. Enveloped in the warmth of His love, I'm snug as a bug in a rug. Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms. No one is more secure than those who are in God's hands. |
