Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff—they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.
—Psalm 23:4-6
Until we have reached that haven, the slightest breeze will make us tremble; but as long as the Lord is our Shepherd, we shall walk without fear in the valley of the shadow of death.
❦ John Calvin
As you are with me in the sunshine, be with me in the shadows, Lord. Guide me through and bring me home, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
