In the beginning God created light, from the darkness. Verse Genesis 1:3. When God saw the light, he decided it was good. God divided the light from the darkness. So light and darkness was separated between each other by God. Verse Genesis 1:4. Calling the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and morning were the first day.

Where do you see a darkness being created? It says
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."

Darkness was not created, it is the original condition. Before God created anything there was darkness only - nothing.

I hope that the shadows you speak of are what David found
in the nearness to The Lord.


Psalm 91:

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

Psalm 17::8. Keep me as the apple of Your eye;
Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.

Psalm 36:7.
How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.

Psalm 57:1.
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me!
For my soul trusts in You;
And in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge,
Until these calamities have passed by.

Psalm 63:7. Because You have been my help,
Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice.
