Luke 1:79 To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
I released my latest book, The Lord My Shepherd. It’s 30 devotionals going through Psalm 23 phrase by phrase.
In Psalm 23, David talks about the valley of the shadow of death. He doesn’t sit there. He’s going through. He’s going to get to the other side; he’s going to make back out into the light.
We’re not meant to sit in the darkness. We don’t stay in the shadow of death.
If you are living in a shadow of confusion or weariness or any number of looming things that can cast a shadow on our lives, we’re not meant to stay there. Don’t sit down. Keep moving. But where to go?
That’s why we need a shepherd to guide us. That’s why we have a Shepherd to guide us. God meets needs. He comes to the aid of the poor and needy. He comforts the brokenhearted.
There’s a purpose to the shadow, but we won’t find it in the dark. Let Jesus lead you in the way of peace. He’s the good Shepherd and He loves His sheep.
