You know that feeling when everything seems dark? 🌑 Like, literally or metaphorically? 😔

Here’s something wild to consider: in God’s view, darkness and light are exactly the same. 🌓 Think about that for a second. 🤔

The writer of Psalm 139 wasn’t just dropping poetry — he was delivering facts about how God isn’t just everywhere, but He’s specifically there FOR YOU. 💫

When you got baptized, you basically got God’s permanent “I’m with you” stamp. ✝️

Matthew’s gospel ends with this epic promise: God’s not just tagging along — He’s with you right through to the end of time. ⏳✨

But here’s the thing: being baptized doesn’t mean life suddenly becomes easy mode. 🎮 You’ll still face challenges and scary moments. 😮‍💨

The difference? You’ve got direct access to someone who sees through the darkness like it’s broad daylight. 🌅

(It’s giving John 1 vibes, where light shows up in darkness and darkness can’t do anything about it.) ✨

These psalms aren’t like magic spells we can use to make God do what you want. 🪄❌ Instead, think of them as reminders of everything God’s already done for you. 📝💝

Remember that even when things feel dark, you’re not going through it alone. 🫂

To God, your darkest moments are as bright as day, and He’s already working on getting you through them. 🌟 In fact, he’s working right now. 💫
