No God has to live in darkness. If a God does, he has problems.

My New American says he made Darkness the cover around Him. Psalm 18 describes God on the move to answer the Psamist's prayer, and provide a rescue. It has nothing to do with living in darkness. So, no, God does not live in darkness.

MeatBot, out of context once again.
This verse is not describing where God lives. This verse is describing the might and power of God. It appears to be describing that God is a super weather phenomenon. Its all about God's might and power.
The verse says specifically darkness of "waters, thick clouds, and of the skies."
When Storms come it gets dark.

In that chapter - Psalm 18 - David is writing a song/poem of how God delivered him from his enemies. If you read the rest of Psalm 18, it talks of how David cried unto the Lord for help, how mighty & faithful God is, and how he was saved from his enemies. It does not mean that God literally lives in darkness. You have to read the entire passage instead of pulling out one verse - otherwise it's quite out of context.

God "lives" everywhere. He in the form of the Lord and the Holy Ghost is a spirit thats lives everywhere and within everything.

In China, human beings as quickly as worshiped Shang Di the severe Lord. Then they worshiped Tian or Heaven itself personified. next grew to become into Yu Ti the Jade Emperor of Heaven. Then, the Communists took over in 1949 and quickly suppressed all faith. you're incorrect to assert that God is the sole valid non secular wish. Shang Di, Tian and Yu Ti are extra valid than God. Spirits and gods do no longer exist, so no gods grant us with valid non secular wish. reason is plenty extra suitable than fake ideals in non-existent gods and spirits, and it quite is gloomy which you do no longer understand that. reason factors me faraway from all gods. the genuine fact resonates interior of me, and it tells me all gods are fiction. Ecclesiastes is a particularly pessimistic piece of fiction. it quite is gloomy that any human could be so depressed and pessimistic. the author grew to become into no longer a guy of information, in simple terms yet another deluded moron. "conceitedness of vanities...all is conceitedness"...and so forth.

May God blees you
If you looking to know who is God try to read the holy Qur'an
God is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as (if there were) a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is in glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only in the morning) nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long), whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! God guides to His Light whom He wills. And God sets forth parables for mankind, and God is All-Knower of everything. (An-Nur 24:35)

OT God: Law (Darkness)
NT God: Grace (Light)
It's all "allegory": Galatians 4.
It's also "mystery": noted over 20 times.
Allegoric mystery solved by seek & find.
Darkness is also allegory for ignorance.
Light is also allegory for understanding.
Solomon: understanding = grace glory: Pr 4
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

I think that verse alone takes it out of context. God is light. Darkness cannot abide where there is light.

He is all light, but I wonder how can we give meaning to light without darkness.
