Day 73Goodnight, Lord

God Is With You in the Middle of the Night

If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me... the darkness hideth not from thee... but the night shineth as the day.

Psalm 139:11-12

For God, there is no darkness. What feels like blind night to you shines like day to Him. What you cannot see in the dark — the path ahead, the way out of the problem, what will become of you — God sees with perfect clarity. The darkness that frightens you hides nothing from Him. What rest it is to know that even when you're in the dark, you're not lost, because the One who cares for you sees everything. Today, hand over to God whatever looks like a dead end to your eyes. What is pitch-black night to you is broad daylight to Him. You don't need to see in order to trust; you only need to know that God sees. Sleep peacefully: there is no darkness in your life where God does not see, and where He sees, He cares.

Prayer

Lord, what is dark to me is clear to You. I trust that You see what I cannot and care for what looks like a dead end to me. I rest knowing that You see everything. Amen.
