FEAR NO EVIL
“Yea, 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 (NKJV)
As much as we enjoy the leadings of the Good Shepherd, it does not suggest we will not be confronted by challenges.
This is the reason the Shepherd is also the protector and defense of the flock.
To walk in the valley of the shadow of death, is to be overwhelmed or hedged in and surrounded by some dark experience intended to create fear of destruction. This “valley of the shadow of death” is not the dwelling or destination of the sheep. When you find yourself in such situations, know that you are not dwelling there. You walk through it!
The “shadow of death” speaks of the “grave” (figuratively calamity). Well, in the midst of such situations, you have a greater assurance.
You are under the care of the Good Shepherd. His presence with you is your confidence and audacity.
Don’t get troubled and feel threatened because you are confronted by a difficult situation. Yours is to trust the GOOD SHEPHERD.
In your most difficult moments, who do you speak to?
From the first verses of Psalm 23, the Psalmist was addressing his readers, and referred to the Shepherd as the third person – “HE”.
But from verse 4, David begins to refer to the Shepherd in the second person – “YOU”.
He was no longer addressing his readers, he was now addressing his Shepherd.
This reveals how David turned to his Shepherd in his most difficult times.
He makes the Lord his consciousness.
The Lord’s presence does not necessarily eradicate the challenges and the dangers of the adversary. However, the Lord’s presence is the haven of care and defense for you in the midst of the most evil situation.
You may definitely be faced with some challenges and situations which seem difficult, DON’T FEAR ANY EVIL. The adversary may even attempt to cast thoughts of a worse scenario on your mind; but refuse to accept those thoughts.
Refuse to be discouraged.
Refuse to be afraid for the LORD IS WITH YOU.
Maybe the Lord leads you into a marriage, or to start a business or ministry, and suddenly everything seems to go bad. Refuse to fear evil.
In your family, marriage, business, finances, ministry, career pursuit and journey of success, REMAIN RESOLUTE WITH THIS CERTAINTY THAT THE LORD IS WITH YOU.
You cannot end up as a failure. Don’t accept those thoughts of fear. You will come out of that valley of the shadow of death as a victor!
Remember the RESURRECTION ABILITY OF CHRIST is at WORK IN YOU. Jesus defeated death for you to enjoy the fullness of His life.
You have conquered all powers of death.
Walk in victory!
FEAR NO EVIL.
Hallelujah.
DIG DEEPER:
(Deuteronomy 20:1; 2 Samuel 22:19; Psalm 3:6; Psalm 27:1)
PRAYER:
I pray declaring the victory of the Lord and the manifestation of the power of His presence in the midst of every evil situation. I overcome every challenge by the power of the Lord’s presence. IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
