The Night Shall Be Light
Have you ever tried to run away from God?
Don’t try; it can’t be done!
“Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there. If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.” (Psalm 139:7-10)
No matter where we go in the will of God, He is there!
Why should we flee from Him?
Why should we try to find height or depth, east or west, darkness or light?
“If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall fall on me,’ even the night shall be light about me; indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.” (Vs 11, 12)
Sometimes we’ve found ourselves in dark places and have wondered, “Does God know?”
He indeed knows!
If we sin, we go out into the darkness, but God sees us.
And sometimes when we are walking with the Lord, we still find ourselves in darkness. But that darkness is as light to God.
God is everywhere and sees everything!
Rather than flee from Him, we should flee to Him!
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Ps 46:1)
Nothing can separate us from the love of God – neither height nor depth, east nor west, darkness nor light. (Rom 8:38, 39)
God promises to “never leave you nor forsake you.” (Heb 13:5)
The next time you go through dark days, remember that God knows your problems and needs.
Take refuge in Him; He will see you through!
The night shall be light!
