Light in the Darkness


“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 ‭

Darkness can be scary. Unable to see where you’re going, worrying that you’ll bump into something or run into a wall. I’m not just talking about physical darkness, but also the situations we go through. Worrying about what is happening in the world around us, wondering what lies in our future.

Have you ever wished that God would hand you a pair of “night vision” goggles? Wouldn’t it be nice to assess what’s ahead and walk forward confidently, all-knowing? But, inevitably, if we could see what’s to come, we would make bad decisions. We would try to pick the shorter or easier route, the one with the least amount of obstacles, the route that God did not choose for us.

We can’t see in the dark, but God has night vision. Darkness does not exist for Him. (“Even the darkness is not dark to you.”) He sees everything; He knows all. He knows your future. He knows every single thing to come, both the good and the bad. He has already accounted for things you don’t even know about yet; those things will not surprise him.

Do you feel like you’re stumbling through the dark? Reach out to God. When you’re afraid to take a step because you can’t see the way, He will take your hand and be your guide. Though the darkness may blind you, “darkness is as light with him.” You can be confident in your Guide and walk in HIS light!

I started learning to embroider last year and this is a piece I recently made inspired by scriptures I'm memorizing.
