The Shadow Valley
Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou are with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. The bible in Psalm 23 speaks of a place known as the valley of the shadow of death. God wrote this Psalm through king David so that we God's children, would come to an understanding about the world we have been sent by God to operate in at this time. This world in the shape it is in right now is not our permanent home. It is important for us to know that this life we live right now is a life being walked out in a valley filled with shadows. It is in this shadow valley that God has made a way for us to be purged of or sins and at the same time develop a true, real, meaningful relationship with him. Today we will look at this shadow valley through the eyes of kind David. When we look at the history of David we understand that he suffered through many of the same afflictions that are common to the world today. Why is that?
