No Matter How Darkness Arrives
in Our Lives,
God Sees Clearly
and Guides Us to Live Well!
Psalm 139:11-12
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.
Luke 4:40
As the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various kinds of diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on each of them and cured them.
Words of Grace For Today
God knows we know what it is like
to have darkness overtake us,
and
to have the light disappear on us while we progress through our work that requires light to finish.
We are thankful that for God there is no darkness that is dark. For God the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to you.
God does not need night vision googles to deal with what we experience as darkness, for even as the sun sets, and even as we succumb to illness God sees clearly what we need to be healthy. God sees perfectly, and
through the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
God gives us sight to see what is hidden by the darkness of sin and evil, and to be the ones who bring Christ’ balm to heal any who [are] sick with various kinds of diseases.
So we can rest assured, even as the darkness grows around us and envelops us, that God sees all that we need to live, and to live abundant lives.
