The Night
Is As Bright As The Day
O LORD, you have searched me and known me. You
know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away.
You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue, O LORD, you know it completely. You hem me
in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it.
Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can 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 settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast. If
I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light around me become
night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is as bright as the
day, for darkness is as light to you.
Psalm 139:1-12
No one will ever know you the way God does. We
are an open book to Him – there is nothing about us that is hidden from Him.
God does know everything about us, where we go,
what we say, and what we will be. And even though there is sin, we are forgiven
because of our belief in Jesus Christ.
You are not a number
that a computer can trace;
Christ knows your need,
your name, and your face.
