“You’ll notice in this Psalm {Psalm 23} that God not only leads His sheep to peaceful waters but {also} through dark valleys.

When hard times come {not IF but when}, don’t set up camp and stay there.

Draw near to God.

Listen and follow.

Keep moving forward through fear, confusion, sorrow, or pain.

The journey might be difficult and you might find yourself moving slowly- but you never travel alone.

God is right there, protecting you, comforting you, and guiding you out of the dark valley toward a banquet table full of blessings.”
