Psalm 139:12

Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike {to You.}

     My Father has an English Bulldog named Minnie. She is one of the orneriest dogs you will meet. She really does not like to be still when ever company is over. The fact that she is a very excitable cement block means that when guests come over Dad needs to corral her so she will not hurt anyone. So Dad goes over and puts her on her specific spot. She is not allowed to move from her spot.

      Shortly thereafter Minnie almost always tries some sort of trick in order to get off of her spot. Mostly she tries to crawl slowly over to where all the people are. We always laugh at her, because she seems to think that this actually hides her movements, that we will not notice what she is doing so long as she crawls. Yet we are completely aware of every action she makes. We know when she misbhaves, yet she thinks she can hide it.

    While we laugh at her feeble attempts, it is also important that man realize that their attempts at secret sin are just as feeble before God. We sometimes like to think that we are sneaky, or that maybe if we do our sin in the shroud of darkness, somehow God will overlook it. This is never the case. God notices all that we do. We can not hide anything from Him and we should not even try. We need to live righteously before Him in all that we do. Otherwise we will face His judgment.

Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike {to You.}
