The Night Will Shine
Karen Holland ... 11-6-2008

See the darkness covers the earth
Thick darkness is over the peoples

BUT
The Spirit of the LORD is hovering
Like a mighty eagle spreading its wings over its young
His children shielded and cared for
Guarded as the apple of His eye.

Do not fear being overtaken by the thick darkness
Do not be afraid of being swallowed by the dead of night.

REMEMBER
The Light shines on in the darkness,
for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it]. --Jn 1:5

His light will never be swallowed up in the dead of night For to the LORD, the darkness is not dark and
.. the night shines like day --Ps 139:11-12

Even if darkness and evil appear to prevail
Those who hope in the LORD know
... that evil and death do not have the final word.

It is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. --Prov 19:21

You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning;
... my God turns my darkness into light. --Ps 18:28

Your right hand will hold me fast. --Ps 139:10

Psalm 33:10-11
The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
But the plans of the LORD stand firm for ever, the purposes of His heart through all generations.

If I fear that the thick darkness will over take and cover me
Or that all light will be swallowed by the dead of night
Dear Lord help me to remember
-- the darkness will not be dark to You --
-- the night will shine like the day --
for darkness is as light to You.

Your right hand will hold me fast!

Psalm 139:11-12
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

Psalm 139:10
Your right hand will hold me fast.
