There is an end in sight!
There is this one word that I love. It’s so meaningless to those who sit in school diagramming sentences. It isn’t the biggest, longest, or most creative word. It isn’t beautiful or exciting. It’s just a word-to most people.
In Psalm 23, David writes, “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil….” Most people that read this verse are mainly focused on the valley of the shadow of death. Sometimes we don’t stop to think about how many other things David may have been saying. The most wonderful part of this verse to some people, is probably one little word. It’s the word I love so much. This word is the word ‘through’.
God is always with us. He is here next to me, and there next to you. No matter what you do, or where you go, he is there to help you THROUGH it. When David wrote that verse, he could have said “Yea though I walk INTO the valley…” He wrote the word ‘through’ though, because that’s the way it works. God will bring us THROUGH any changes He introduces in our lives. He tests us with every change and shift. He doesn’t carry us into a trial and then just leave us there. He doesn’t let us wander into danger. We are his sheep, and He is our shepherd [John 10:14]. He is always there next to us to carry us THROUGH.
No matter what you do, where you go, or what you go through, remember that God is by your side. All you have to do is reach out to Him and ask for help, and He will bring you through. He never leaves us or forsakes us [Hebrews 13:5]. Wherever you are in life, if you’re having a rough time, having a hard time or going through a test of faith, turn your eyes upward [Psalm 121:1] and know that God is the answer, and Jesus is the key.
