Light of Life
Psalm 23 speaks of the “valley of the shadow of death.”
For every shadow, there must be a light.
Christ said, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12). A shadow may frighten you, but a shadow cannot really hurt you. I dare say that a shadow at one time or another has spooked many of us. But, thank God, even death is but a shadow if you know the Lord Jesus Christ!
If you keep your face toward the light – the shadow will fall behind you!
You won’t even see the shadow!!
Jesus is the Light of your Life!
God doesn’t bring us to a valley to leave us there. He always brings us through. God is never closer to you than when you are in a dark valley. He is especially near.
Are you in a state of confusion or despair today?
Do you feel hopeless about a situation you are in?
Read Psalm 23:4, and praise God that He takes you “through” the valley and doesn’t leave you there. Ask Him to give you wisdom to learn what He wants you to learn, to stay focused on Him, and to witness to others of His strength in the valley.
“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91:1).
