Psalm 139.11-12 calls
to us today.
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.
Our lives are cumulative experiments. Every day adds more
variables to the equation. Sometimes we produce miraculous results of love,
joy, peace, and all the other fine things God’s Spirit seeds into our beings.
Then there are when everything blows up. We’re caked in ashes of
fear, regret, shame, and resentment. We feel life’s darkness descend and, many
times, we try to hide in its shadows. We’d rather not be seen. Still, God finds
us in the hiding. And with infinite patience and compassion,
God grants us a new day, another try, a fresh start.
