Psalms 139:11-12
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
Subject: God's Omnipresence and Omniscience
David is writing Psalm 139 at a time when he was very reflective and in need of comfort from God. It must have been a time of struggle as he prays for protection from his enemies. But, his focus is not on the struggle, but rather on the God who protects him and cares for him. David gives us some great insight into the character and attributes of God. In the above verses David focuses on the fact that God is all knowing and all present in our lives. God knows everything about us. We might think we are in the dark, but the darkness to God is bright as the brightest day. David recognizes that even in some light, we might feel in great darkness. Yet, that should not cause us to fear. God is the God of light and He makes even the darkest night seem as the noon day sun. Our vision of that dark might not be such, but, by faith, we hold to the fact that God does. God shines His always presence and always knowing over ever situation we have. God is our light and our knowledge. He is always there for us, despite the darkness and the dark circumstances around us.
