If I say ‘surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me.’
Even the darkness will not be dark to you;
The night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.’
Psalm 139: 11-12 [NIV]
Have you ever been afraid of the dark or been in a situation of complete darkness? How did it make you feel?
Being scared and fearful of dark situations can be a very strong emotion that can grip us and even numb our senses.
The verses above from psalm 139 bring hope and assurance that God is beyond darkness, He is the light that overcomes and dispels our fears.
This hope is even more powerful when Jesus, the Light of the World, is number one in our life because darkness cannot abide in the same place as the Son of God.
Do you sense a cloud of darkness over you today? Ask God to come close and shine His light upon you and be amazed what He can do. Also it’s when God lights us up that others may begin to notice and be drawn to our God.
Heavenly Father, thank you that you are the light of the world and that you overcame darkness through the death and resurrection of your son, Jesus. Help me to know your ever present light in my life today and help me to shine out to others. Amen
