WE NEED NOT FEAR!

Psalm 23:4 – Devotional

Psalm 23:4

“Yes, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I have no fear of evil, for You are with me; Your rod and staff comfort me.“

Many years have flown by since I sat beside the hospital bed of my eldest daughter, Brenda Joy, and read psalm after Psalm at her request. It seems as if I repeated Psalm 23 more times than any of the others and she always asked me to read again and again.

Her breathing became increasingly shallow and then she sweetly slipped from this veil of tears and pain to be with her Lord and Savior. What those final moments are to those of us who have experienced the second birth!

Today would have been Brenda’s 67th birthday. I doubt she is celebrating the date of her physical birth, but each moment in Paradise she is praising the Lord for her spiritual birth and the eternity she has before her!

Believers do not need to fear the moment of our physical death. The saints of God have often seen a glimpse of glory as they departed this world, and their reports reveal that we have a glorious home waiting for us. We need not fear the valley of the shadow of death for our Lord is with us continually!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
