02/05 Psalm 23:4
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
EVEN
• The valley represents life’s darkest trials.
• Fear is banished by God’s abiding presence.
• The rod symbolizes protection; the staff, guidance.
• Comfort comes from knowing God is near and active.
• Trusting the Shepherd brings peace in every trial.
