| Even though I walk through the valley … |
| —from Psalm 23:4 |
A dear friend of mine, now with the Lord, often spoke these words:
“Living life each day is not for the faint of heart.”
What my friend said is all too true. When we walk along the road of life, there are inevitably times on our journey when we come to some dark places. We may hesitate to enter and move forward. But, the circumstances of our lives push us onward, taking very hesitant and tentative steps. Then, of a sudden, we remember that God has promised to go with us. As King David wrote of God in 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; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
As we begin a new day and yet find ourselves in a dark place, let’s remember that we are not alone. In fact, we are never alone. God has promised to go with us. He will provide illumination for our pathway and give us courage to push on through the darkness and out into the never-failing light.
