He walked the Hill to Golgotha so that He could be with us in the valley. The chastisement for our peace fell on Him so He could walk with us through the valley of the shadow of death!
23rd Psalm
Green Pastures
In the middle of struggles or temptation did you ever just wish things would quiet down and that life was simple and easy? I sure have. Then as I was reading through the 23rd psalm yesterday I came to the part about the dark valley. Oh I hate dark places in general and especially if they are a hiding place for enemies who are just looking for an opportunity to pounce. So as I thought about why a loving shepherd would lead his defenseless sheep through there I realized that it was because the green pastures and still waters are on the other side!
Our Good Shepherd
After a weekend more terrible I cannot recall except for in time of war these words from the twenty third psalm gave me hope and comfort. I pray they will for you as well.
In the presence of death He remains the Good Shepherd
At a time of great sorrows only He can comfort
When our world seems black as night He knows the through the valley
Even if everyone runs away our Lord Jesus promises He will never leave. Our hope is built not on who sits in the white house but who sits upon the throne!
