hemmed in

Maybe it's because I like to sew, maybe it's because I like being tucked in my bed like a little cocoon - I don't know why exactly but I've always loved Psalm 139:5

"You hem me in - behind and before; You have laid your hand upon me."

Merriam-Webster defines hem this way "a border of a cloth article doubled back and stitched down"

To me that says something is really being well secured.

I love the picture it paints in my mind of God's great, powerful hand being folded over my life (doubled back... stitched down).

He has laid his hand up on me! Secure!
