After an involuntary absence, I have returned with a desire to write, nothing is better than doing what you like, as long as it does not alter the original design of God that is always good. Greetings to the steemchurch brothers and to the Christians in the block chain.
My theme today is: In the middle of the valley, described in the following verse:
Psalm 23: 4 "Though in the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for you will be with me; your rod and your staff will breathe me in."
There is a place where neither you nor I can do anything except wait on the Lord, and it is the valley of the shadow of death. Being in the valley is different from being on the mountain. In the mountain you have a better view, it is easier to hide and there are many more options to be sure; But the place where you have all the possibilities of losing and being hurt, where you can not flee, is in the valley. You are exposed to the darts and cannons of the enemy, it is that place from which we can not flee, where there are possibilities of losing everything; and it is precisely that place where you are or have been, but in spite of that, right there, the Lord has always been and will be with you.
There are believers who think that because Jehovah is with them nothing will happen to them, and that is false. Jehovah will go before you flattening things, but that does not mean that you will not go through the valley, it means that you will pass, but that the Lord will be with you. You will cross the valley of shadow, but in the end there is the Lord's victory for your life.
The valley of the shadow of death somehow persecutes the Christian, because satan believes that shaking us can with us, but the Christian is like the swarm of bees while the more the jorungas the more glorifies the Lord. The Lord changes the circumstances and uses what is at hand to bring out the best in you. The valley of the shadow of death gives your life the opportunity for God to manifest.
In 2 Corinthians 12: 9 the Lord tells you: "My grace is sufficient for you; because my power is perfected in weakness. " You, who go through circumstances, get up and shine! and on you will rest the power of Christ, that power that transforms lives and that makes the darkest circumstances, opportunities that work for your good.
Hi @aranzaive!
In the middle of the valley we receive that breath when we see that God's plans are in love and perfect harmony with his will. There is no despair, no worry, no fear of receiving correction from God. Because we know it is for blessing. That's why we can say happily:
Your rod and your staff will give me breath!
Hi SteemChurch, I'm glad you saw my post! Thanks for your valuable contribution.
Good post Sister! We need to know that our Good Shepherd has not only the rod of discipline, but the staff that the shepherd uses to rescue the sheep that has fallen. Many Christians know the rod, but not the staff that breathes breath. The staff is the assurance that the Good Shepherd is taking care of me and that he will not let me fall down the precipice.
Amen, it's good to see you here, Thanks for commenting brother, by the way, I really like your publications.
I'm the middle of valley, we should hope and trust that God knows about it and he will see out through
Well said sister
Trust is a sure step that is multiplied by a thousand in any valley of life. Good post
