psalms 139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
psalms 139:11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will [g]overwhelm me,
And the light around me will be night,”
12 Even the darkness is not dark [h]to You,
And the night is as bright as the day.
I spent five long hours in the darkest room i could get with a sleep mask and covers over my head in extreme agony yesterday. The migraine headache came on impossibly fast and took me down hard. I wish I could say that in that time I concentrated on the Lord and his power and love for me-I didn't. Mainly I concentrated on getting through the pain and nausea. In my torment I searched for anything that would make me feel good in it and I didn't seek the Lord. I should have. And now in looking back I see the significance of sitting in the dark. This time the dark was not a scary thing, it was a comfort, and through that awful experience i can appreciate the illustration. Only God can take something that is worrisome to us and turn it into a time of comfort, and that doesn't always mean getting us out of the situation. See, God is so powerful that he can comfort us and make us feel safe and secure even in the middle of a trail! He doesn't have to remove us from the situation to help us! I love that!
