MY FRIENDS, THOUGH WE WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH, WE WILL FEAR NO EVIL!!

Today let’s take a walk with Christ our Good shepherd; and as long as He is in our life we shall never want. In addition, anything we receive from our God each day beyond the sunshine is a bonus, That is why we should thank Him with passion for that sunshine in spite of, because at times the sun is hidden behind the clouds, but we know it still abides because our God still and will forever abide.

My friends, as we look back over the rough terrain of our journey, let’s make it personal because like the sun, at times we are also unable to see over that veil into the throne room and hear God’s voice and feel his warmth that generates from above, but its OK, we want give up now because “we’ve come too far on this journey to give up, because we  know God didn’t bring us this far to leave us.”

So it is at that moment my friends we must feel His presence as “He finds us in a desert land, and in the howling waste of the wilderness; as He encircles us, and cares for us, because we have always been the apple of his eye” Deu 32:10 (NKJV) So as He pulls us out of the wilderness He places us in green pastures and tells us to lie down and rest awhile after climbing so many mountains, only to find that there are many more to climb.

He is so loving and kind because He knows we are tired and weary, but He also knows our glory will only come out of our tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Rom 5:3-4 (NKJV)

So we must toil on “and after we have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called His children to eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish us, till the Lord says it if finished. So God only gives us a moment to rest beside the still waters because He knows soon He will say to His Son let’s go get my children.

The veil is now lifted, We hear His voice once again and we understand, He was only preparing us for something we cannot handle right now, purging us of everything that is and abomination to Him that will make us weak and vulnerable to the god of this world, so now, He leads us in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake as He equips us with His personal armor the cross, as He  prepare us to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, never fearing any evil.

We now know without any reservation in our mind, that the King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s is leading us; He also has given us his rod to walk with on one side and His staff on the other just for comfort in case we get weary again and need something to lean on “Oh how sweet to walk in the pilgrim way Leaning on His everlasting arms, oh how bright the path grows from day to day Leaning on His everlasting arms.”

He is now  preparing a table before us in the presence of our enemies; He anoints our head with oil; our cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall now follow us All the days of our life; And soon and very soon we will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

So friends stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
