“…even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.” – Psalm 139:12
For the longest time I never understood what this meant even though it is part of one of the most well known Psalm in the Bible, Psalm 139. Even my favorite singer Michael W. Smith sings about it in his song “Light to You”. I headed to Tuesday night prayer during what has been the most challenging week of my life. The goal that night was to read and meditate on what Psalm 139 was saying about God, about us, and about others. There is a lot to unpack there and can be found in some of my other posts (to come). But God showed me this about verse 12: God sees both the darkness and light the same. The dark times and the good times have the same potential for Him to move. He can use either. He can be glorified in either because of who He is. What mountain is too big for Him? Is the darkness too much for Him? Is the light not enough? He can move in all. Darkness and light. He doesn’t fear or tremble at one more than the other because He is over them both. He’s not intimidated by either at any level. It doesn’t surprise Him or sway Him. He doesn’t blink. He knows who He is. He knows His power and He stands UNSHAKEN cause He is sovereign over it all.
