“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” (Psalm 23:4 NASB1995)
Life has its ups and downs, doesn’t it? We have good days and we have bad days, i.e. days when all seems to go well, and days where it seems as though the whole world is falling apart all around us. Not every day is the same, and none of us knows from day to day what we will be faced with from moment to moment. Life sometimes has its sudden and tragic moments which can knock us down and take us out, and it has its days of sunshine where all seems to go well, although perhaps not for everyone.
But even on those dark dismal days when everything seems to be falling apart, and we just want to cry or to run away from it all, if we are followers of Jesus Christ, we have no need to fear, for our God is with us, and he will carry us through it all, one step, one moment, and one day at a time, by the grace of God, and in the power of God. And so we need to trust him and his sovereignty over our lives. And we need to not fear what lies ahead, for that is what the enemy wants. He wants us afraid. So we need to rest in God.
