December 12, 2014 Snug As A Bug In A Rug! David H. Roper 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 When I was a child, 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 child 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, Im snug as a bug in a rug. Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms. -Hoffman No one is more secure than those who are in Gods hands.
