Psalm 23: 4
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil; for Thou art with me;”
That’s the blessing, dear Christian, of knowing Christ! He gives us confidence in the very face of
death! That’s the first question, of
course…are you truly a Christian?? I don’t
plan on going into that subject on this post…but if there’s any question in
your heart and mind that you’re truly saved, that you know Christ as your
personal Saviour, please, please turn to the many reference labels I have
concerning salvation. That is a MUST! …please make sure of your salvation today!
What I do wish to speak about in this post—although I’m sure I will be
fairly short—is the wonderful fact that no matter what we’re facing—including death—is
that we can have confidence and strength through God. There is nothing we need to fear. why? …because God says He is with us! He promises over and over again throughout
Scripture, that He will be with us…He will not forsake us. What precious promises! There are so many countless promises in God‘s
Word. Some of them are conditional, and
we must be careful to be obedient to His Word, that we might have the blessing
of those promises…but one very special promise He has for us, is the fact that
He will go with us.
Let me slip a little note in here, too.
Notice in our verse, it says the shadow
of death. Even in death—probably the
worst thing we could go through—it is still just a shadow. What is a shadow?…it is there for a moment,
and then it quickly passes away. I had a
history teacher that had a habit of saying right before a test, “This, too,
shall pass.” In other words, no matter
the circumstances you may be facing, even this shall pass…it is only for a
moment.
