“Where can I go from Your Ruach? Where can I flee from Your presence? If I go up to heaven, You are there, and if I make my bed in Sheol, look, You are there too. If I take the wings of the dawn and settle on the other side of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me. If I say: “Surely darkness covers me, night keeps light at a distance from me,” even darkness is not dark for You, and night is as bright as day— darkness and light are alike.”
Psalms 139:7-12 TLV
The word Ruach can be translated to spirit, meaning David is asking a rhetorical question… “where could I hide from you?” He of course knows that God is everywhere and as such impossible to hide from. Here David is reminding us that no matter where we go or how deep in darkness we believe we are, God is right there with us and help you conquer all that troubles you. David says “even darkness that blocks out all light cannot prevent Adonai from finding you and lifting you to light”
Even in the darkest of times lift your eyes to God’s light and know that you have a powerful protector to help you find your way back.
And all of God’s children said AMEN
