Finding Refuge
Psalm 139 is a contemplative psalm, often attributed to King David.
In it, the psalmist reminds himself of the all-knowing and all-present nature of God.
According to him, we can always find comfort in the unconditional promise of God’s presence:
“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
Finding Refuge
Though life has its challenges and moments of overwhelming darkness, God’s nearness remains.
He is intimately acquainted with every detail of your life.
And He sees you, not with the gaze of human eyes, but with the infinite clarity of His love.
When was the last time you acknowledged God’s presence in your life?
Have you recently paused to simply dwell with Him?
Pausing prompts us to consider the vastness of God’s knowledge and the inability to hide anything from His sight.
There is no darkness too deep and no night too long that can conceal us from the unyielding light of our Creator.
Seek Him today.
Finding Refuge
Let Us Pray:
God, thank You for being ever-present. Your vastness is overwhelming and comforting.
“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.”
Thank You for never leaving me, even when I try to run and hide. You are my safe place forever and always. Amen.
Psalm 139:11-12 KJV
[11] If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; Even the night shall be light about me.
[12] Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
