God is with us in darkest hours The writer of Psalms is sure that God is all knowing. He knows what we do and think. He is with us so much that He knows what we say. This week we look closer at the thought that God is omnipresent or present everywhere. People try to run from God everyday. Jonah is the best example. God convinced him that in all things He knew, but can and will offer His protection. God is with us in three unique ways. First, He is in heaven (Psalms 139:7-8). Where can I go from your spirit? The 23rd Psalms is a great example of what happens when we give our lives to God’s service. All the hearts of men are before Him (Proverbs 15:11). Second, he is in the deepest part of the oceans. Jesus said, “Lo, I am with you always.” David went on to say, “If I go to the uttermost part of the sea/ your hands
DAVID MASSEY Church of Christ Sealy hold me.” The power of Christ makes intercession for us. We know God is always aware of our problems. Third, God shines forth in the darkness. David speaks of the fact that darkness comes to all of us at times. The words of Psalms 139:1112 are better translated, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me.” Sometimes dark items fall on us and we become discouraged. Even in the darkest hours it is so comforting to know that God is still there. Remember the words of the comforting hymn, “All Seeing Eye.” There’s eye watching you, watching you, watching you. Everyday mind the course your pursue, There’s an all-seeing

eye watching you.” Worship with the Church of Christ and know in belief that God loves and cares.
