Deepest Darkness

Psalm 23:4-5

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I'm not afraid of danger, for you are with; cudgel thy and thy staff, they comfort me. You provide the meal for me, in the presence of my enemies: thou anointed my head with oil; put my cup full of abundance.

Do you need to be reminded that God will never forget you? Whether you're desperately waiting for a glimmer of hope in the world that seems to fall apart? In Psalm 23 we find assurance that God will never leave us.

The Hebrew word used for "valley of darkness" is 'salmawet' which means the deepest darkness. Most of us would say is easy to believe that God holds us tight when things are going well. And what about those times deepest darkness? Things become uncertain is not it?

God tells us to not be afraid of crime in the valley because it is He who makes grandparent. It was he who allowed the shadow of death, He has allowed the deepest darkness in our lives.

In the darkest times, when we must walk in the deepest darkness, when we think God has really left us - it could be the safest place where God put us to fulfill the great plan that was prepared in our lives. Look at the life of Joseph.

Psalm 23:5 gives us much more reason to remember that God never forgets us. Imagine a table filled with the best food crystals adorned the most beautiful and you are the guest of honor at the home of Jesus. Jesus guide you to your seat and place the fine linen napkin in your lap.

Then Jesus will look at you with excitement and asked, "Do you like it? I prepare everything just for you. Come on, taste everything! "

You begin to taste the food there and admit that it was the most delicious food you will ever eat. All the special things that Jesus provided for you.

But wait, who is bent over in the corner? That is your enemy, the devil, and he looked unhappy because fastened in his seat. Jesus, who would die for you and will never lose or leave you, pamper you're right in front of your enemy and forced him to sit there and see all the love bestowed on Him to you.

When you and I were in the deepest darkness, rest assured that His hand is upon us and He will make sure the enemy of our souls that we are the heart of his lover. So rejoice! If you know that Jesus is Lord and Savior, then you are truly the heart of his lover!

Any dark as your current life, God will always make sure you are protected safely in the palm of His hand. Do not ever give up!
