My pastor has been doing a sermon series on Psalm 23. This past Sunday he spoke on verse 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." It seems that it is human nature to be scared of death. It is the unknown; it is the dark part of the path we fear. However this verse tells us that God is with us always. We know that he is with us when we see a breath taking sunset or hear the sweet song of a bird. He is also with us in the dark times. I have always felt that God comes to the broken hearted and gives us strength to move on with our life. Pastor added the idea that God is with us in death. It was at that moment that a saw a new picture of that idea painted. One day we would face the dark place where death is kept but our Lord will be there with us. It is at than moment that the darkness with not be able to stand next to His holy light. He comes to take us at that time to be with Him. The place dark place we most fear will become as bright as the morning light and we will know the beauty that our Father has hidden in our souls. Praise be to God for always seeking His children even on walk through that dark valley.
