Through – NOT IN – The Valley

I was thinking over Psalm 23 the other day. When I got to the part, “Though I walk through the valley,” from verse 4, our Father opened up my eyes to something. It doesn’t say, “Though I walk IN the valley.” It says, “Though I walk THROUGH the valley.”

And then it hit me. Those valleys, those hard times in life, our Father doesn’t leave us there. We don’t reside in the valley, we walk through it. Because Yahuah is our shepherd, leading us through. He is with us, His rod and his staff shall comfort us.

  1. Amen! It is so true. I remember my mom preaching a sermon once on how God leads us through the fire. This is so special and powerful, and I hope I’ll always remember this.

  2. Me: “Can I get an AMEN?!”
    Congregation: AMEN!
    Me: Good! Cause that sermon you just heard was true and powerful.
    Congregation: AMEN!!!
    Me: Now THAT’s what I’m talking about! 🙂

  3. I loved this, and was actually thinking something similar the other day. God is with us in the struggles, and it’s important to keep following Him and moving through. Thanks so much for sharing this thought!!!
