Even When
I Walk Through
The Darkest Valley
I know that the Lord is my Shepherd; I have all that I need.
Scripture
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
4 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
Observation
A
childhood friend of Kathy’s is going through a very dark valley in her life
right now. I couldn’t imagine a darker valley. She has a daughter that is in a
coma and the outcome does not look good from a human perspective.
I
asked everyone that I met with yesterday to pray for this young woman and to
pray for Kathy’s friend who is the young woman’s Mom.
A
verse that came to Kathy’s mind while she was talking to this friend yesterday
was Psalm 23:1, “The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.”
Kathy
told me yesterday, “Eddy, when you were in a coma and not expected to live I
held on to the fact that God was all that I needed.”
You
and I are going to walk through some dark valleys in 2015. I wish it was not
true, but we will.
Application
As I walk through the dark valleys I am going to hold onto
this truth; “I will not be afraid, for (God) you are
close beside me. Psalm 23:4
Prayer
2-3 He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams. He gives me new strength. He helps me do what honors him the most.
4 Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me, guarding, guiding all the way.
5 You provide delicious food for me in the presence of my enemies. You have welcomed me as your guest; blessings overflow!
6 Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life, and afterwards I will live with you forever in your home. Amen Psalm 23
