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 (psalm
23:4)
In Luke 21:25-26,
Jesus said that in the last days, there’ll be perplexity of nations, men’s
hearts failing them for fear: “And there shall
be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth
distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men’s
hearts failing them for fear…” (Luke 21: 25-26).
We’re living in a day when there’s so much
fear. There’s fear within and there’s fear without; there’s fear everywhere. Kids
don’t play outside like they used to. Many are no longer bold to take
pleasure-walks without looking over their shoulders, in fear of being stalked
by marauders, drive-by shooters, or becoming victims of terror attack. Life has
changed. Now, as a child of God, what should your response be, in spite of all
there?
First, let’s read the inspiring word of David
again in our opening verse: “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.” The next verse is even
more inspiring; it says “thou prepare a
table before me in the presence of mine enemies…” (Psalm 23:5). He prepares
a table before you in the presence of my enemies, not in their absence. In other
words, you don’t have to care about the enemy and what he will, and can do; the
adversary is not a factor! Glory to God!
It doesn’t matter
that there’s evil everywhere; you dwell in secret place of the most High. Therefore,
you’re untouchable. No wonder He says, “A
thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it
shall not come night thee” (Psalm 91:7). What an assurance of safety,
security, and peace for the one who’s in Christ! Refuse to fear. The Lord is
your salvation; that means no matter what happens, no matter the terror or evil
concocted by the enemy, your safety is guaranteed because you’re in Christ. Let
this be your mindset. visit for more
