Psalms 23:4
[4]Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

OUR PRAYER!

Father in heaven, we bring before your throne our iniquities and place them at your feet so we might be shown the truth and our hearts softened and rid of them. Be with us, Lord, that we might receive your guidance to a renewed discernment, remove from us all doubt and fears. Replace them with knowledge, understanding, and your love. As we have prayed, Lord, to bring us to still waters that you might restore our souls. Instruct us through the Holy Spirit so we might find the path of righteousness in your name’s sake. This we pray in the name of Yeshua, Amen, and Amen

Discontent and distrust proceed from unbelief; an unsteady walk is the consequence: let us then simply trust our Shepherd’s care and hearken to his voice. The valley of the shadow of death may denote the most severe and terrible affliction, or dark dispensation of providence, that the psalmist ever could come under.

Between the part of the flock on earth and that which is gone to heaven, death lies like a dark valley that must be passed in going from one to the other. But even in this, there are words that lessen the terror. It is but the shadow of death: the shadow of a serpent will not sting, nor the shadow of a sword kill. It is a valley, deep indeed, and dark, and miry; but valleys are often fruitful, and so is death itself fruitful of comforts to God’s people. It is a walk through it: they shall not be lost in this valley, but get safe to the mountain on the other side.

Death is a king of terrors, but not to the sheep of Christ. When they come to die, God will rebuke the enemy; he will guide them with his rod, and sustain them with his staff. There is enough in the gospel to comfort the saints when dying, and underneath them are the everlasting arms.

Psalms 23:6
[6]Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Robert a humble obedient servant to Yeshua and his Father in heaven Yahewa.
