DAILY READINGS: Exodus 17; Psalm 55; Acts 9:32-43
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
Walking with God is a precious blessing for His children. It is especially appreciated when one is reminded that one walks through the fearsome valley of death’s shadow. Nonetheless, the Lord’s perfect love and unfailing presence banish fear from the faithful mind (Heb. 13:5; 1 Jn. 4:18). In this tumultuous and uncertain world, the saints are comforted by the Lord’s shepherd ministry in their lives. His correcting rod and protecting staff will safely guide them home. —K. R. Keyser
In the darkness, in the shadow, with the Saviour I have trod,
Sweet indeed have been the lessons, since I’ve walked alone with God.—Oswald J. Smith
