Psalm 23:4 – “ Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me…”
My local church sends out a daily email. In it, members receive prayer needs within the “body,” praises, and other pertinent information.
At times, I am astounded as to the number of people who are ill, recuperating from surgeries, or have concerns for family members.
Sometimes the news is heart-wrenching—the passing of someone dear to all of us.
Are you walking thru the valley of the shadow of death?
Even though the support of friends and family is encouraging—and we are told in scripture that we need to uphold our brothers and sisters in prayer—isn’t it incredible to know that our Creator, Healer, and Savior is there for us when the shadow of death crosses our path or the path of someone we love?
God is there, walking the road with us. He knows the depths of pain and sorrow we are going through. He wants us to cling to Him, as He is ready, able, and willing to bring us peace, even in the face of otherwise overwhelming circumstances.
King David, who wrote Psalm 23, paints a beautiful word picture of what Christians can experience when we lean on the God of all comfort.
Thank you Brenda, your message was very uplifting! God Bless You!
