“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”.(Psalms 23 vs 4). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today. In Today’s Focal Scripture, the Psalmist made reference to the Valley of the Shadow of death. He didn’t call it the Valley of death; he called it the Valley of the Shadow of death. He referred to death as a shadow. A Shadow is just an imperfect imitation or copy. So, he was speaking of the valley where there is a fake semblance of death. Notice that the Psalmist declared that even though he walks through the valley of the shadow of death, he would fear no evil. First, the Psalmist realised that the perceived danger was intangible; he however understood the tangibility and supremacy of God’s Presence. He seemed to say, even when the Shadow of death is near, the presence of God is even nearer. Friend, hear this: The shadow of death may seem close but God is with you. The enemy may be hanging around like a hawk, seeking an opportunity to devour you, but God says, “I AM WITH YOU”. There may be signs of negativity all around you but again God thunders,”I AM WITH YOU”. Everything that is trying to speak fear into you is just a mere shadow that will disappear when the light of God shines on you. Every sickness in your body is just a shadow; Every trouble in your family or marriage is just a shadow; Every financial lack is just a shadow. Friend, Great Light dispels shadow. Continue to live under the Light of God’s Presence and God will shine His light through your life and you will naturally find the shadows around you die a natural death! Whatever happens this week, can you hear God consistently whispering to your heart, saying, “I AM WITH YOU”. Wait a minute, IF GOD BE FOR US….??? Pray with me, “Lord, I believe your Word; YOU ARE WITH ME”. Have a Blessed Sunday!
