“Darkness Is As Light To You”

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

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.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Psalm 139:7-16

On a dark night the human eye can see a candle flame up to 30 miles away. No telescopes or night-vision goggles are needed – the human eye is so profoundly designed that even long distances can be spanned with clear sight.

This is a vivid reminder of our amazing Creator, who designed not only the human eye but also all of the details that make up our expansive universe.

All of God’s creation bears witness to Him as our great Creator.
