Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, 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. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. (Psalms 139:7-12)
Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God. (Isaiah 50:10)
There have been so many, many times in my life when I’ve felt I’m sitting in the dark. My eyes are blinded by circumstances, pain, tears, questions, and I wonder, “God where are you?!” But verses like these remind me that even when my heart is breaking and I feel like I’m surrounded by the dark, God is there. He’s holding me tight and whispering that, “It’s going to be okay.”
