The 23rd Psalm is rich in meanings hidden in their openness.
I sailed by The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want for years before one fine morning I was gobsmacked by I shall not want. And I inner-knew, enough...I am enough, all I am and have is enough, I shall not want. Which called to mind the promise, your Father knows your needs. Ah, my Father within knows my needs, I shall not want.
This morning I inner-knew the valley of the shadow of death is any fear...little or large, size really does not matter.
The valley of the shadow of death sounds so vast, so dark, and with evil as its dare? To say the least, that is off-putting to the anxiety prone such as I. According to the reasoning mind, don't even think about it.
We are, however, moving on up deeper, and what a wonder! Spiritually, which is where we seek to live today, that valley of death is the equivalent of our prom night's fear of a broken fingernail...or the same as a chest-pain fear of a heart attack.
The light shines brighter...we are enveloped in the consciousness of David's song: Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil. Walk free.
We walk free from the worry of broken fingernails, cancer, or...best to self...of looking foolish.
Trust God, Clean house. Serve others...and walk free.
Thank you.
