Psalm 139:7-12
“Where could I go from your Spirit? Or where could I flee from your presence? If I ascend up into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning, and settle in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me. If I say, "Surely the darkness will overwhelm me; the light around me will be night;" even the darkness doesn't hide from you, but the night shines as the day; the darkness is like light to you.”
This psalm is a personal meditation, often attributed to King David, expressing deep trust and awe in God's intimate knowledge and presence. The psalmist explores how God is present everywhere and knows everything about them, from their inner thoughts to the furthest reaches of creation.
What might it mean for your present uncertainties to consider that even in what feels like 'darkness' or the 'uttermost parts,' a guiding and holding presence is imagined?
