And The Light Shineth In DarknessSample

Valley Of Shadow Of Death.

“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.” Psalms‬ ‭23:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Fear no evil, for God is with you. Choose to be His Light in dark valleys. Even when you’re in the valley — God is with you. Even in your darkest season — God is with you. Even in the valley — God is with you. Even at your lowest point — God is with you. God is with you in every aspect of your career, business and ministry. Hebrews‬ ‭13:5‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “...I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” God is with you and He will not abandon you.

Light will never leave you or forsake you. God is with you in the valley. Remember, God is with you in the pit. God is with you in the storm. God is with you on the mountaintop. God is with you when things are going well. God is with you when things are not going so well. God is with you in every season of life — do not fear. Do not be afraid. Choose to trust God.

Psalm‬ ‭23:4‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.” Even in sunless valleys, God is with you. Do not fear. Do not be afraid. Let His Word comfort you. Let His Word shield you. Let His Word protect you. Let His Word order your steps. Let His Word guide you. 

Psalms‬ ‭119:105‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Let His Word light your path. Choose to surrender to His Light in every area of your life. Psalms‬ ‭23:4‬ ‭NLT‬‬ declares, “Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.” 

Remember that you were designed to go “through” the valley — the key word here is “through”. Remember that the valley is temporary. The valley is not a permanent destination. The valley was not meant for you to dwell there. The valley was meant for you to go through it. Go through the valley. Do not be distracted by the death, destruction and decay that’s around you. Choose to focus on God. 

Choose to dwell in the secret place. “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;” Psalms‬ ‭91:1-9‬ ‭KJV‬‬. 

The valley will not destroy you. The valley does not have power over you. Choose to focus on God. Do not focus on the valley. God can bring you through the valley. God saw the valley before it formed and He can lead you through it. The valley does not have power over God’s Authority. The valley is not stronger than God. The valley does not have power over God’s Sovereignty. God is with you. God is for you. God can even create a way through the wilderness. Don’t let the wilderness overtake you. Focus on God. “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭KJV‬‬
