I read this in my devotion time recently. This is very comforting to me and goes along with the study I doing with the ladies from church this week on anxiety, frustration and disappointment. God is involved in every part of our lives, so if we are anxious, we are fearful of God's Providence and not trusting Him. If we are frustrated, we are angry about God's Providence in our lives and if we are disappointed, then we are not content with God's Providence in our lives. But this scripture tells us He is intimately involved in every part of our lives and He is present there with us. He would not allow hard Providences into our lives if He didn't have a good purpose in mind for them to accomplish. Romans 8:28 tells us this. So we can take comfort in His presence even in the difficulties of life and know that He is in control of all of it.
Psalm 139:7 ¶ Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
