Thought of the Day !!

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.
                                                             Psalm 23:4 (ESV)

The 23rd Psalm is a favorite to many.  It's one of the most requested and read scriptures at funerals.  But why?

This verse may be the key to answering that question.  It speaks of how we can go down in the valleys of life, even the valley that will lead to death, and our God is right there to comfort us.  What a wonderful thought.  No matter how far we travel, how bad things get, how much we mess up, or even how close to death we may be, our God puts His arms around us and consoles us.  He doesn't want us to think we're in this life alone.  And He wants us to know when it's all over we can face the end with confidence in Him through His Son Jesus. 

Thank you God for caring so much about us.

In the love of Christ,
