Wednesday's Word: SAFE!

4/24/2013

"'God, you're my refuge. I trust in you and I'm
safe!'  That's right-He rescues you from hidden traps, shields you from deadly hazards."
Psalms 91:2-3  (The Message)

It had just turned 2 a.m.  I know this because I heard the Mission: Impossible! theme on the TV. I had laid down in my basement for a quick nap in the midst of an all-nighter.  I had more on my plate than hours in the day.  My faithful four-legged creature was barking, loudly, in the kitchen upstairs.  I remember being annoyed that he wouldn't quiet down to let me catch a few more z's.  Annoyed, I called for him to stop.  He wouldn't.  So, even more annoyed, I got up from my couch and started up the stairs to scold my dog for disturbing me.  As my foot hit the first step, I heard a crack, followed by the full collapse of my basement ceiling--right on the couch where I had been trying to take my nap.

The contractor who surveyed the damage the next day said that I would have been killed.  Others have called me "lucky"--I don't believe in luck. 

I know that I'm kept and I know that, because of God, my refuge, I am safe!
