The Light that Darkness Cannot Hide

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, If I settle on the far side of the sea,

even there Your hand will guide me, 

Your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me

and the light become night around me,

even the darkness will not be darkness to You:

the night will shine like the day,

for darkness is as light to You.

I remember flying over these mountains in the dark, with no sign of what was below. But as the light of the sun began to brighten the horizon, we saw the rows and rows of mountain peaks! By not seeing them we could have  assumed that they were not there, but as the sun rose, it cast a light that could not hide what was below us. 

So, even, as night cannot hide from the light, it is encouraging to know that evil cannot hide from the light God shines through His word. Many have tried to deny it, ban it  and burn it . . .  but His Word will continue to light the way for us as we seek the truth. For this I am thankful.
