God’s Comfort in the valley

 

Psalms 23
1 The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.  He leads me beside still waters

3 He restores my soul,  He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name sake.

4 Even 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.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever

 

“God’s Comfort in the valley”

 

4 Even 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.

*1, I will have God’s comfort in the valley because He is with me*

The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

 

2 Corinthians 12:7-10
7So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations,a a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. 9But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
10 fear not, for I am with you;

    be not dismayed, for I am your God;

I will strengthen you, I will help you,

    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

11 Behold, all who are incensed against you

    shall be put to shame and confounded;

those who strive against you

    shall be as nothing and shall perish.

12 You shall seek those who contend with you,

    but you shall not find them;

those who war against you

    shall be as nothing at all.

13 For I, the Lord your God,

    hold your right hand;

it is I who say to you, “Fear not,

    I am the one who helps you.”

 

****(4) I will have God’s comfort in the valley because God is a gracious host***

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows

35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;

we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

*****5) I will have God’s comfort in the valley because of the Gospel****

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever

*****6) I will have God’s comfort in the valley because I will praise Him in the valley*****

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever
