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. (Psalm 23:4)
Psalm 23 often graces the backs of funeral cards, with the valley of the shadow of death being appropriated to the season of life when a loved one has died. There are other types of death, though. Sometimes we deal with the death of something we'd always thought would be there, or results we expected from our hard work. One day, these things are gone and we are dealing with loss.
During times of disappointment and loss, we are in the shadow of the death of a dream. It can be a time of fear; what else are we going to lose? Will things get worse? Yet, we are not to fear evil, but focus on God's presence with us. He has promised to comfort us, too.
TV~ (Today's Verse)
I will go forth in the strength of the Lord and will make mention of thy righteousness only. [Psalm 71:5]
