Sheep are protected THROUGH the valley BY the shepherd. And so are we. Psalm 23:4 says, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.“ WE will get weaker, stray more often, grow more desperate…but GOD never will. His power & protection never weakens, though we do. Will God shield us FROM the valley? Nope. Not always. (As many of you can attest.) But nothing can separate you from God when you’re in the valley and it’s God, alone, who allows what happens in it. There have been dark valleys in my life. Even with God, it stunk to be in them. But it would have stunk more to be in it WITHOUT Him. Some of you are going through very difficult circumstances. The pain is enough–let alone the fear the enemy’s trying to add to it. The pain is legit–but the fear is not! Jesus said, “don’t be afraid, little flock…” We don’t need to fear the valley if God is with us. We only need to fear the valley if He isn’t. Friend, you got this!

Thanks for your words Heather! Mia had to memorize the whole chapter Ps. 23 for school last year and again this year for AWANA so we were just going over that verse tonight. Growth happens in the valley sometimes, but God is good.

Walking. There is something about walking through tough times that takes patience and grit. When we fail in both parts, God is able. Yep, one step at a time, He is able. Thanks for the reminder. I am going to share this with our staff for our bible study. Be blessed.
