S. Psalm 23:4 (NIV)
“Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me… your rod and staff they comfort me…”
O. David describes such comfort and protection with God leading him. He describes times that he (and I’m sure most of us) must walk through the vary dark times and experiences - yet he finds God’s comfort in His presence and the shepherd’s rod and staff (protection and support)
A. David remained connected closely to the Lord. I will continue to trust the Holy Spirit to guide me and keep me close to the father. I am thankful for the protection and support of God’s word and the Holy Spirit - in which I will continue to keep my mind and spirit occupied with.
P. Thank you Father for this Psalm that is known by so many people. Thank you for being the Great Shepherd who walks with us and protects us. Holy Spirit fill me and guide me to daily read the Word of God. Illumine my mind and refresh my soul with His word in which I also realize His protection and support. In Jesus’ name!
