The Lords Prayer 8

The Lords Prayer 8.

5. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 
I will fear no evil: 
for thou art with me; 
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.


A valley is indeed a dangerous place to be in during a battle because ones enemy has a better standing and vantage point to defeat, talk less of one with the ominous, palpable presence of death, yet the psalmist, king David who from his childhood relationship with God Almighty has come to appreciate and revear God as the Chief Shepherd in his life could boldly and unflinchingly testify, " though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:.."

why?
Because he learned by following the staff of leadership of The Almighty Shepherd and subjecting himself to the same staff used as a rod to chastise whenever he disobeyed and also to defeat the enemy of God's flock, that God was with him and that the comfort of the multipurpose staff of the shepherd was of greater comfort than anything any other leadership in this world could offer him.

The mountain refreshing process as well as the valley trying experience are both brought about by one and the same, God to build up our faithin His "All-mightiness" in our lives.

Are you tired of a valley you're in, or plagued from time to time by the spirit of death? Then know that Satan is not your problem. Your Faith in God is. 
Everything begins and ends with your fellowship with God or lack of a relationship with Him.
Reaffirm your faith in Emmanuel, God with us; your acceptance of Him as shepherd of your life, the truth of his staff of leadership and rod of correction as your only comfort in life, and come up to the mount of God where deliverance can be found, by prayer and the positive faith-filled confessions of your mouth and therefore reject death and the fear of evil outrightlly.
