“The Lord Is My Refuge”

If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Psalm 91:9-16

Have you ever lived in a small home. The furnace was in the middle of the house. There were no heating or cooling ducts elsewhere. In the summer, you needed a fan, something I still use today even heat and cooling are more evenly adjusted. In the winter you just piled on more blankets, and you stayed warm.

Today you can know that type of security and warmth. With God at our sides we can lie down in peace. We can go to sleep and never wake up until the next morning.

We are enveloped in His love, and because of that we are, “as snug as a bug in a rug.”

No one is more secure than those who are in God’s hands.
